Our hearts and prayers are with Joan and family. Cliff was a man of dignity, integrity, and courage, an inspiration to many. First a work colleague, then boss aka "Fearless Leader", then mentor, dear friend, husband of my BFF, my son's godfather. I will miss your sage advice and guidance as will Blaine. Your friendship was a gift and we will hold memories dear. "Take these broken wings and let me fly again ..." Love Shannon, Les and Blaine and the extended Coughlin family - Posted by: Shannon Coughlin (close friend ) on: Feb 02, 2012

I had the privilege to work for five years with this dedicated leader. It was a pleasure to go to work every morning. He would call me to say he "just wanted to clear up a few loose ends". I will miss him. He was indeed a special person. To his family, my sincere condolences, Gabrielle - Posted by: Gabrielle McDougall (Executive Assistant to Mr. Mackay) on: Jan 28, 2012
