Cliff was a 'girl dad' to Carol Ann Leedy and son-in-law Jason Leedy of South Bend, Laura Lee King of South Bend, and Tammy Hostetler of Jacksonville, Florida. He was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Holly Lynn. He was the best dad! He was grandfather to 6 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.

Cliff loved fishing and warm weather having recently moved back to the area from Panama City Beach, Florida. He was kind and always a gentleman, even in his final days. He spent the majority of his work life as an automotive technician for some of the South Bend dealerships. He 'retired' in 1994 but remained active, working for Home Depot and doing home projects. He became a fulltime resident of Florida in 2003, where he also worked at Home Depot until 2010.
