Clive was raised in Selkirk, Manitoba, where he worked at Manitoba Rolling Mills for 43 great years and was a proud member of the Selkirk Fire Department. Clive spent his life participating in sports and enjoyed curling, golf, baseball, hockey, football, bowling, badminton, hunting and fishing, but his greatest love was his family. He was extremely proud of his grandchildren and was thrilled to spend time with them. Clive enjoyed many trips with Judy and they loved spending time at their family cottage. He cherished his many friends during his busy fulfilled life. He was a well-respected machinist, possessing great mechanical abilities.
