Clifton worked as a welder for many companies over his lifetime including having the opportunity to run his own business for a few years in the welding/pipefitting industry. He had a passion for the outdoors including hunting and fishing that began at an early age in life passed down from his father. Many of Clifton’s stories involve a hunting trip. Every November you knew you could find him in a deer blind waiting on the big one to come through. Clifton enjoyed working on cars and trucks and rebuilding them. He was always busy and kept himself active in the garage or out on the lawn. He enjoyed watching old western shows on TV and anything with John Wayne. He had a giving heart and was willing to help others in need.
