Sure do miss U Cliff.  God is really taking care of your Annie.  U know she's still throwing down in the kitchen.  PECAN PRALINE CANDY & ALL!!!  We both know that she's a NO LIMIT SOLDIER. GOD needed U up there more than we needed U down here.  My mom's name is Ms. Dora Colbert.  She's an awesome singer.  U probably have heard her singing in Heaven.  Beautiful voice.  She's 1 of God's Angels also. I'll ask her to look out for U.  She's OUR Heavenly  Angels also.   Love U Cliff.

Hey Cliff.  The years are going by soo fast.  We sure do miss U.  Joann is doing good.  She is still cooking up some stuff.  We are enjoying retirement.  She went home for Christmas and she made lots of pecan candy.  So we missed out on the pecan candy this year.  I am gonna ask your Annie to make U & me some pecan candy.  I talk to different Mailhandlers still working at the Post Office & they say the Post Office ain't the same.  Cliff, sometimes I hear your voice & see your face with that little grin on it.   Love U & miss U.  Sleep in Heavenly Peace Cliff.

Hey Cliff.   We have such good memories of U.   Joann(your Annie)  & I are always talking about U.   We spend a lot of time together.  Yes, she still cooks ALL that good food & takes care of everybody else.   We love & miss U Cliff.   U have always been a quiet stern man so I know that U are keeping them straight up there.  Just give them that smile that U do. They know what it means.
Love U.    Faye 

Dear Cliff, a nice coworker, always willing to help me. A true marine you were. Rest in Peace.  Deborah 



A husband. Father. Honorable. Courageous. Committed.  A man of dignity. The few. The proud. A Marine. A man of great pride in who he was and what he had. Anyone who truly knows me, knows I’m a daddy’s girl. I had the best daddy in the world. I’ve been truly blessed to be raised, loved and protected by him. These last few months have been hard. These last few weeks have been devastating. I miss my daddy so much. I’m at peace knowing you are no longer suffering. I’m grateful to have called you mine. 

Until we meet again, I love you daddy ❤️

Thank you for all the calls, prayers, and gifts of love. My family and I truly appreciate you all. 

Romans 14:8 “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”

John 16:22 “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.”

Nothing short of an example for all, a courageous Marine who fought a good fight.

Joann, just a note to let you and the family know that I am thinking about you during this difficult time.  You did your best as a wife to love and care for Clifford, and now he has taken his rest.  I pray that the God we serve will continue to comfort you all now, and in the days ahead.  

Love you, Your cousin Henrietta in Sacramento, CA


U Cliff was a good friend.  U married a jewel of a woman.  My friend JoAnn.  I can remember seeing U at work driving your tow motor/fork lift  & I would ask U "Cliff U got some of JoAnn's pecan candy in your pocket".  We would 😂!  And then U would tell me about 3 weeks later "Faye, I was looking for U, Annie had made some pecan candy, but I couldn't find U"!  I would be like 😱!  Clifton would just laugh at me.😁  Clifton loved to raid those Vending Machines at work.   The 🌎 has lost another Good Man.  I 💓 U Cliff & I promise to be here for JoAnn (your Annie) as much as I can.  😘😘😘

My Dad was a great man god fearing man we had wonderful times together. 
Big laughs and great travels 

Rest In Peace Dad 
Rest In Peace Marine 


Love u and will miss u DAD
From your oldest Son James Rucker
