  3. I worked with Cliff at Ingles for quite a while and loved him like a grandpa. He had the best sense of humor and personality I have ever met in my life. Wish I could of seen him before he left. I always made a point to ask the wonderful lady that works with me about him. The world lost a rare soul and he will be sorely missed.

  4. Faye and family. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Cliff.
    Always a true gentleman. Praying for God’s peace, comfort
    and strength during these difficult days.

    With deepest sympathy
