Very sad news to me today. Just learned the news from just as old of a friend ( Steve Todd ). Hadn’t seen Cliff much recently but it didn’t take anything away from the good old friends that we were! RIP my friend. I hope that I am in town for the C.O.L. My blessings to the surviving!
Rest in peace Clifford , love you bro we had some fun

Clifford you always had a place of friendship in my heart even as miles and lives grew apart. Your SMILE will hopefully fulfill your family’s memories. Sympathy to the family.
