Clifton was born in Trinidad and resided in Canada since 1974. Along the way Clifton created many memories with both family and friends. Clifton served his community in many ways, he took his passion for cooking and shared it with them. He cooked for Grant AME church, volunteered at the soup kitchen in The Caribbean Catholic Church, and served the sick and shut-in with awesome recipes that made their taste buds dance a jig. Friends, Family, residents and customers would all proclaim he had the best black (rum) cake, pone, sweet bread, wontons and don’t forget that home-made pizza or bread.

Clifton always kept a smile on his face and joke in his pocket. Clifton’s laugh was infectious and always showed compassion to others. He was famous for just cause gifts, phone calls or meal deliveries. He joyfully schooled many on bowling lanes and on the dance floor; with a fierce curve ball and moves for days.
