Although I did not know Cliff in person I was honored to have met him on the 40-meter band. What a privilege to talk to this awesome man. I was saddened to know of his passing. I wish I could have talked to him more as he had great stories to tell. Sending prayers to the entire family. He will be missed for sure. RIP Cliff, hope you have your dream station up in heaven. It was an honor for me each time we talked.

It was a great honor to have known Cliff.
We are so fortunate to have him in all of our lives. As a friend and fellow combat veteran.
A great American!




Pam and Susan, We feel like our families (Wallace/Dolder) in Greeneville were entwined together, with our fathers working together, our mothers playing bridge together, our GHS school days together.  Fun romping around Tusculum Heights together, dads working on ham radios together.  Charlie/Cliff was truly a super amazing man, who had such an adventure of a life, from Iwo Jima to South Carolina.  He was an inspiration to all that knew him or even knew of him.  His legacy will live in our memories forever.  Our hearts go out to you in this time of loss.  Please know that we will make a donation to our favorite charity in his memory.   C&F

Susan & Pam,
I remember Cliff fondly & am honored to have known him. My deepest sympathy is with you and your family during this difficult time. 

I did not know Cliff personally, I'm a ham radio operator KI4YTV. Cliff checked into my net many times and I always honored him with VIP status being the oldest active ham.  We will be having a tribute to him tonight. W4KKP 73's

My mama, Norma Brown, lived down the hall from Mr. Cliff in Haltiwanger.  I sat with him at dinner one evening and he told me about the Enola Gay flying overhead.
A gentle, brilliant and engaging man.  My sincere condolences to his family and the care team at Lowman.  A life well lived!

I loved Mr. Cliff.  He was my friend and I will always cherish the precious memories that we shared.  The most memorable one was sitting in his room watching him talk to everyone all over the world,  on his radio.  
   My heart is broken, but my sweet memories will help heal my heart.  
    He was a gentleman and my favorite veteran. 
I salute you Mr. Cliff one more time as you spread your Heavenly wings and fly. 
I love you, 
Carol

Pam and Susan, I was so sorry to hear of your father's passing.  You were so blessed to have him with you all these years. Sending prayers and hugs during this sad time.❤🙏

I was Mr Kayhart mailman for many years. One day I came by and at 100 years old he was working on his push lawnmower. He ask me if I had any plans when I got off from work I said no why?He ask if I would take him to Lowe’s and he said I believe I will get a self propelled. I told him I would and that he deserve it.

Pam and Susan, 

Prayers for you both during this difficult time. I just recently lost my  99 year old Dad -Arthur Ricker Sr. from Tusculum  Dad was a World WarII Veteran,  and  Dad worked at Magnavox . You both had wonderful parents. Blessings to you both.

To the family of the late Mr Cliff Kayhart , Please accept my Sincere Condolences on the passing of your loved one. I remember  him for his kind gentle spirit who always had a kind word for me. I'm sure he will probably have a CB in Heaven. Get your rest Sir.

Susan and Pam, my son Jack shared the news of your beloved dad’s recent passing. What comes to mind when I think of “Uncle Cliff” is his smile. He always wore a smile that even lit up his eyes. I hope you can embrace your warm memories during this difficult time. With love from my family to yours, our sincerest condolences. Barbara Fanning

Rest in peace my good friend. You were one of the kindest,
most generous, with your knowledge, that a young amateur
radio operator would ever meet in his lifetime. Thank you
for being my mentor in fixing my electronic mistakes.

Go join that beautiful sweet lady Ann, Charlie.
Girls you had two wonderful parents. Thank God
for letting me have the opportunity to meet them both.
