Cliff grew up on a farm in the Hodgeville, Saskatchewan area. He attended high school at Queen Center School. Cliff had a keen mind, strong work ethic and indomitable will. He had experienced and accomplished much throughout his lifetime. This included farming, logging, oilfield work, trucking, ranching and custom combining. In more recent years, he helped his children in their various endeavours. All the while, he stayed involved with the family grain farm, which was closest to his heart. Cliff enjoyed family fishing trips, visiting and playing cards at family get togethers, watching NHL games, and reading western novels. His greatest love and sense of identity was farming. A memorial for Cliff will be held at a later date in Hodgeville.
