Cliff was my neighbor out on the farm 10 1/2 SW of Tripp. We car pooled to high school for two years. I have many fond memories of those days and a few stories not to be repeated. He will be missed by all until we once again meet in a better place. My deepest sympathy to Etha and family. God Bless & take care of each other. LeRoy N. Weisser Sun City, AZ & Rapid City, SD

All our thoughts and prayers are with you, Etha, and your families. We wish we could be there but distance keeps us apart. Remembering the fun time we had at the Delmont School Reunion this last time. Thinking of you, Kenneth and Andra Semmler, Delmont, SD

So sorry for your loss. I know it has been a tough couple months so I will keep his family in my prayers - We all know that he is no longer suffering and we are thankful for that. Cliff was my distant cousin and we attended the same little, one room country school as kids. I remember that we had so much fun - What a sense of humor he had!! I was glad that he and I were able to reconnect a couple years ago and share some of those memories and photos. I thank God to have had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I never met Cliff but got to know him through your daily posts from the hospital. He was truly a fighter but now is free of pain. Next time I'm in Sebring again I'll call you Etha. Hugs, Nancy
