So sorry to hear of Cliff"s passing. Although it was a long time ago Cliff was no doubt one of the hardest working men I knew. Not only the hardest working but one of the very best at what he did while working for the gas company. I was and am very proud to have worked with him and to have known Cliff Lewis.

I didn't know Cliff for a long time, however the short time that i did know him for was full of laughs. He was always up before the sun, complaining about doctors, telling me about his plans for the day, and most of all talking about his gardens. He was so fond of that garden. He was constantly upset about things he couldn't get to grow, but he didn't give up either. Im going to miss him visiting me very much. I don't think I'll ever forget him. I wish his daughter Tina strength during this time, I can't imagine this is easy for her, or any of his family. I know in my heart that he is where he wants to be now.
