I have not seen Cliff in recent years, but I have many fond memories of playing softball with him. He was a great player and teammate. Always ready to play as many games as he could fit into a day. He will surely be missed.

Tater, we played many a softball game back in the day. At one point, we had the best team around. Nobody could touch us. Godspeed to you my friend. Top spin to win!!!

Clifton was my best friend and partner for the almost six years. Even though we went to grade school and high school together, I never knew what a sensitive, loving and kind person he was. He was a friend to many and those that knew him best loved him dearly. My sympathy goes to his family at this time. They all mean a lot to me. I have many fond memories that I will always remember. Love to all!
