    The one thing I remember is when Cliff and Tim Lived in San Antonio and Myself and Cheryl lived in Austin and Tony was but a couple of years old and Alice wasn’t a year yet tony stayed with Cliff and Tim. Cliff fixed supper for them, meat, potatoes, gravy and peas. Tony wouldn’t eat the peas. when cliff told him he was going to sit until they were gone, Tony promptly poured them on the floor gone. Cliff scooped them up put them in the bowl and back in front of Tony where they were promptly eaten, Tony never did that again. What Cliff did was nothing less then what Mom would have done. Rest in Peace my Bro.

    Clifford was my oldest brother. He was born 24 December, 1937, in Tracy, down in Lyon County in Southern Minnesota. He was always the responsible brother and tried to make the family farm in Leader Minnesota work. They tell me that he used to provide milk for me in my little tin cup as he was milking the cows. He would squirt milk at me and the cats while we stood there in a circle around the milking stool.

    Clifford made a career of the Air Force, something the rest of us could not bring ourselves to do, though four out of six of us were in the service.

    Clifford had some of the most interesting stories to tell from his service. His unit worked with the local community in the Philippines, providing infrastructure services for some of the local villages. Cliff was a civil engineer, so he got to work some of the construction projects and became friends with the local people. They held a celebratory dinner after one of the projects and, as Cliff was approaching the chow line, the local mayor took one look at him and told the server – “dig deep, dog in bottom.” I always picture that moment, because I know that it didn’t phase Cliff at all.

    He really enjoyed being of service.

    So glad and honored to have gotten to know you, albeit for a short period of time. I know you will always be loved and missed by all of your family left behind that you’ll see again on the other side.
