He will be greatly missed by his wife Pat of 45 years; daughter Lori of Vancouver; sons, Chris and Gord (Karin) and his precious grandchildren, Kristin, Julianne and Robert Junior; his brother Don (Barbara) and family who reside in Alberta. He was predeceased by his father and mother, Bill and Mary Phillips and his never forgotten son, Robert, who passed away in 1991. Cliff was born and raised in Winnipeg and he attended Faraday for his Elementary school years and Hugh John McDonald for Junior High. He went on to graduate from Daniel McIntyre Collegiate receiving his school crest for the sport he clearly loved, basketball. He believed in self-motivation and was a certified trainer for the Earl Nightingale Human Resources Training Programs in the early 70s. He went on to establish his own Human Resources Consulting firm, Personal Dynamics then Performax Systems. He became an authorized independent distributor for the Carlson Training Group and enjoyed his work promoting various programs to people across Canada, the United States and Europe. Cliff enjoyed his summers with family and friends at the cottage at Grand Beach where he played cribbage and excelled in horseshoe tournaments.
