Cliff was a dear friend for years and he is missed.   I will always remember the fun times especially our church youth group.

The last time I saw Cliff was the spring of 1967. We were in the same Batallion, different companies. Standing on a hill during the monsoons we talked briefly before going out on an operation. Rest in peace brother.

What a wild and crazy guy! He was always telling jokes and making those funny wierd faces! Kept me laughin ALL of the time. WAe used to race my mom's mercury with his dad's olds. had a blast!  So sad that he and his wife were killed by a drunk driver, I think it was in '67?  Cliff was the first guy I met when I moved to Saginaw from Clarkston and went to North Intermediate School.  Always fond memories, Cliff. Thanks!

I grew up with Cliff from North School on to AHHS.  He was in my wedding and I was in his and Margaret's.

Cliff wasn't in the Army so an earlier memory is referring to someone else.

Cliff was killed in late Janurary 1973.  He was alone in his  car.  His wife Margaret wasn't with him and later had a son he never met.  Margaret moved back to Rogers City.

Cliff was the craziest and funniest guy I knew in our huge class.

Cliff, Dick Parrette, Terri Miller and I had many good times together throughout our high school years.

After high school Cliff went to Ferris State for one year then dropped out and went to work at the Saginaw Steering Gear.  We laughed when we discovered he was making more money there than I was teaching.

We laughed alot....

Thank you for the update on Cliff, Larry. I am so thankful his wife and unborn son were not in the car. It is ironic she moved to Rogers City. My wife and I kept our boat there from 1996-2006. If I knew she was living there, I most certainly would have looked her up. Yes are so right that you, me, Dick and Cliff had many great times together!  I remember when we were in Dick's dad's Chevie Impala stopped at the light at State and Center and Dick thought the right rear tire was flat. Cliff opened the door to lean out and check just as the light turned green and a car flew by and hit the open door and ripped it off it's hinges and it spun like a top for about 50 feet down the road. We put the door in the front seat and Dick had to face his dad. Funny now but not do much for Dick then!
