Words seem so inadequate in expressing one's sympathy. When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still.... As time goes on though, you will remember that Cliff lived a good life, giving you beautiful memories that you will always have and never forget. - Posted by: Barbie (Sister) on: Nov 05, 2013

I have heaps of fond memories of Uncle Clifford coming by our house with fabulous high performance cars and taking my father and I out cruising in them (particularly late on Sunday nights). Uncle Clifford had a heart of gold and almost always wore a big smile. R.I.P. Uncle Cliff. I will miss you dearly. You will never be forgotten. Lots of Love From, Ken, Terri, Hannah & Emily SMITH Melbourne, Australia - Posted by: Kenneth Gary SMITH & Family (nephew) on: Nov 04, 2013

Teresa my friend, you were his rock. I believe the dear Lord was looking out for Cliff when you came into his life. You gave him unconditional love. He was happy and content. He loved you. I am so fortunate to call you friend. I love you. Take care. God Bless. - Posted by: nadine (isford) mitchell (friend) on: Nov 03, 2013

I worked with Cliff for a number of years and yes, he was very famous for his garage parties where he was sure to invite my brother and I. Cliff will forever be known to me as a very giving person who was always smiling when I saw him, and whenever he talked about Teresa it was always with praise and happiness. Whenever it was a crappy snowy day I would chuckle and think "There will be pine falls loads today 'cause Cliff will call in scared!" (those were his own words, "phone in scared", with a Cliff chuckle. Right now I'm thinking about all the people Cliff left behind, from his wife to his kids, to everyone that knew him, he may be gone but never ever forgotten. You were a one of a kind guy Cliff and everyone is better for knowing you. Til we meet again buddy! - Posted by: Mike ladobruk (Friend) on: Nov 03, 2013

My very dear friend, how fortunate were we to have had you in our lives. The pranks we pulled. Our teen-age years...there are so many memories. Before you knew it we were all married and having kids...they were still fun years. We were there through the troubled years. Then we were in settled into our middle age and how lucky we were to still be friends. We had such good times with you, Teresa and Bear. You had a big heart and an endearing laugh. You were loved by many and will be forever missed. We love you my dear friend. - Posted by: nadine (isford) mitchell (friend) on: Nov 02, 2013
