He moved to Mansfield in 1956 and was a valued team member of Mrs. B's Country Kitchen. He enjoyed learning about history and watching educational videos. Clifford was a member of the Gospel Assembly Church in Mansfield. He was a very determined man who knew what he wanted from life. He was a "people person" and never met a stranger.
