Clifford moved with his parents to the family farm, Southeast of Indian Head in 1944. He attended Fair Play country school and later Luther College in Regina. He started his employment with the Department of Highways in the lab and travelling around the province. He started farming as his family grew while continuing to work off the farm. He was also employed for many years with the PFRA and later with the Indian Head School Division as a Maintenance Supervisor. He continued grain farming and would add cattle to his farming portfolio. While farming he would also serve as a Councilor and Reeve for Indian Head RM 156. He would retire from farming in 2013.
Clifford was a family man and loved his family immensely, along with his great love of animals. He was known to name and pet farm pigs, cows, and chickens. He especially had a love for his loyal farm dogs and is predeceased by many and survived by one, Moose. He is also predeceased by his loving guard goose, Dudley.
Clifford was also a people person and thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to his many coffee visits with friends and people in the community. Clifford was raised in the Lutheran church and served proudly as a lay minister and as president of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. He later became a member of Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Fort Qu’Appelle.
Clifford’s hobbies included a special love of fishing, camping, hunting, adventurous travels within and outside the province and story telling which will be greatly missed by all.

I am truly saddened to hear of Cliff's passing. He was a great man who always made me feel at ease and had a wonderful presence. I have told the story of "Kelly's" guard goose numerous times over the years. I never recalled it's name... Dudley, of course! I offer condolences to the entire family, especially those I know personally: Melona, Kelly, Renee, Tony, Armand and Yolanda. Time heals, but a scar may remain. Wear it proudly. God bless.

To my best friend Melona and to your family, I’m so sorry for the loss of Cliff. I will miss him especially when I walk into your house Melona, I won’t be hearing, no she’s not home, we have no coffee see you tomorrow lol. I really enjoyed his stories, his laugh and saw how much he loved you. Two peas in a pod. He sure loved family gatherings and sometimes I thought the bigger the better. I always remember his bday because he told Renee when she was little that’s why there is a holiday, I can just here my mom just giving him the gears as she welcomes him and him shaking his head saying, Here I am ready or not. Take care we will visit soon
