I was looking at a map today, noticed Lloydminster and thought of Cliff. I was the bookkeeper at the Burnaby, BC Domtar Construction Materials Ltd. roofing plant from July 1972 to August 1973 when Cliff was manager.
I didn't know that Cliff had passed away, and offer my sincere condolences now to his family and friends.
As mentioned in the eulogies, Cliff had a wonderful sense of humour which we experienced many times in the office. And yes, he was very proud of his family - I remember him saying he became a father at the age of 19 and a grandfather at 39.
Cliff brought a TV set to the office for the final Canada vs Russia hockey game in 1972 - what an exciting afternoon that was!
Shortly before I left Domtar I remember Cliff saying he and Betty were leaving Vancouver to return to Lloydminster. I'm very glad to learn that they both had many happy years there, back home again.
