    My deepest sympathy to the family in this loss of an amazing man. Cliff was so kind to everyone and loved his family so deeply. He will be missed by many as he made friends with everyone he met. My heart goes out to Misty & Jerry as well as all of his grandchildren and great grandchildren. I know Tuanna was waiting with open arms to welcome you into Heaven. God Rest Clifford

    I remember being stuck on a highway in Kansas City in their blue Chevy Citation in the freezing cold w/jerry…….. the 3 of us splitting a lone cigarette awaiting anyone to “rescue” us.
    Cliff ALWAYS had a joke to tell, and cared VERY much about Jerry’s wellbeing………Later on dude.
    Best quote….. “What do you want me to do ?…..Explode?”
    Happy trails man………
