Clifford spent his entire work career with Whirlpool Corporation from the time he graduated from Harrison High School in 1975 to such time Whirlpool closed its doors in Evansville. He waited until mid-life to find and marry his soulmate, Lisa in 1998. Together they have a beautiful daughter, Sarah Renee. Both his wife and daughter feel blessed to have been a very special part of Clifford’s life. He will remain alive in their hearts forever. Clifford also came to accept Jesus Christ into his life, which brings great comfort to all who loved him.
Clifford was an avid Cubs baseball fan, faithfully cheering them on, win or lose. Other than his family, nothing brought him more joy than music, both playing music and listening to it, particularly his beloved Beatles. No one, is more of a devoted Beatles fan, than Clifford.
