He joined the Bank of Toronto in Assiniboia, SK in 1950, and was employed in various capacities for over 36 years, residing in Regina, Winnipeg, Selkirk, and Thunder Bay. He retired to his cottage in 1986. It was while in Regina that he met the love of his life, Pauline (nee Crosson) in 1955. The Lutheran Church played an important part in Cliff's life. He was an active member and leader in the church in all of the communities in which he resided. He enjoyed singing and was a choir member and soloist for over 65 years. He served as Treasurer of the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, as well as Treasurer of Luther Village. He also belonged to a number of service clubs, and was recently President of the Senior Scene, Victoria Beach. Volunteerism was a way of life for Cliff.

Donations in Cliff's memory may be made to the Memorial Fund of Trinity Lutheran Church, Thalberg.

  • It's almost been a year... I miss you so much Papa & I wish you were here to see me graduate.. I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for your support.. rest in peace Papa. - Posted by: Jamie Miller (Granddaughter) on: Apr 13, 2014

  • My very first full time job back in July, 1969 was with the Toronto Dominon Bank 274 Smith Street in Winnipeg. Mr. Miller was the Branch Manager and I was his Secretary back then. Wonderful and caring employer with a great sense of humour and a smile for all staff and clients. I still remember still after all these years his navy car with the back window that faced inward instead of outward (can you tell I don't know my cars). I have thought of him many times over the years and was saddened to hear of his passing. My sincere thoughts of sympathy go out to the family even though I have never met them. - Posted by: Valerie Mlynarovich (former employee ) on: May 03, 2013

  • Cliff was a very pleasant, wise loving family man. He also cared for others around him. He was a great asset to our neighbourhood. We could always see his joy of living in Belair from berry picking, gardening and feeding the birds. Another good memory will be the corn roasts and singing with him in our respective choirs he has left a great legacy for his friends, neighbours and family. - Posted by: Blair & Sonia Sheane (long time neighbours) on: May 02, 2013

  • Dear Pauline and Family: I was truly saddened to hear of Cliff's passing. He was by far, the best "boss" I ever worked with. Always willing to listen and help whenever he could.

  • Our family was deeply saddened to hear of Cliff's death. Cliff was an amazing person and true friend. He had such a positive, happy attitude towards life which was complimented by his keen sense of humor. Cliff was wise and a true leader. I can still hear him singing the beautiful hymn: I See a New Heaven, I see a new earth as the old one Will Pass Away'. May God comfort you in your sorrow. Hugs to all. Arleen and Family, Saara Suni. - Posted by: Arleen Berg and family, Saara Suni (Friend) on: May 02, 2013

  • Cliff was a true professional and a great traveling companion. He was consistently reliable with his outstanding knowledge of credit, and he kept a calm demeanor and a strong sense of humour through trying on-the-job circumstances. He was a natural leader. I know I speak for everyone who worked with Cliff at the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corp when I say how sorry we were to hear of his passing, and profoundly regret not seeing him for so long after he retired from our crew. Thank you very much Pauline for sharing his time with us, and know that his ex-workmates frequently reminisce about Cliff and the good times we had together.
