Stacia, Jared and Zoe, 

What a beautiful service for Jeff. I met Jeff at my cousin Patti's wedding in Indiana 1988.
It wasn't a surprise to see your mom with such a great guy. He was good looking, fun and funny. Stacia you have always been so cute, happy and cheerful. I can see why you attracted Jeff.
Zoe's tribute was so moving. How lucky you guys were to have had Jeff as your husband and father.That's something no one else can give you and no one can take away from you.

Love your cousin,
gail Shilliday

Only got the chance to meet him once, for a Christmas gathering with my new brother. New family and fun. So that is the way I and my family will always remember him.

Jeff was a great guy; he will be missed by so many.  We are very sorry for your loss.

Jeff Clifton was one of the finest painters and paperhangers that I worked with when I was full time the business.  I always enjoyed working with him.  May his family have comfort at this difficult time.

Stacy, I am soooo sorry for your family.  Jeff was such a wonderful man who made his life count with the many volunteer hours he devoted to benefiting others.  Maybe it will help to think of his life as having changed, rather then being taken away, because he will remain within each of you for always.  Love lasts longer then life. My hope is that the many wonderful memories you shared over the years will help to sustain you.  I have memories of how devoted you were to your mother taking her to appointments, etc.  I know, too, you took great care of Jeff during your love journey.of 36 years.  There are no words of comfort, but I join your many friends in sending my heartfelt sympathy to your dear family.  Jeanne Schoedinger

The Clifton family holds a special place in my heart as I look back at their tremendous involvement at Clintonville Academy where Jared and Zoe grew up. One could not meet more positive, encouraging parents and friends to so many. Jeff was a gentle soul with a kind heart and great sense of humor. He will be missed by everyone. Our condolences to Stacia, Jared, and Zoe, with love, Sally and David Lindsay

Jeff was one of the first people I met when we moved to Old Beechwold. He was president of the neihborhood association and I was his vice president. He was always pleasant and competent. To the many who loved him, I am so sorry.

Jeff was more than a Columbus Rotary member to me.  He was a friend.  We spent a lot of time talking about our kids, their sports, and college.  He was a treasure.  He was so quietly effective in everything he did and every project in which he was involved.  

On behalf of the Club Board and our membership we express our sincere condolences to the family.  Scott Brown, Executive Director Columbus Rotary
