Clif had a deep love for his family. In his youth he was a gymnast and enjoyed riding cycle. He enjoyed music, playing guitar, drums and singing with family, sharing his talents and encouraging hearts. Clif enjoyed innovative ideas, trying something new and he worked diligently at converting cow pies to energy. He liked to share his new found knowledge in science and nature to anyone who would listen. Clif had interesting ideas and perspective. He worked on the family dairy farm and then various jobs that allowed for discovery and building new relationships. He had a quiet strength, a determined will to keep going. Though in pain much of the time, he never complained. Clif leaves behind family and community who dearly love and miss him.
Private Graveside Services will be held at the convenience of the family in Creswell Cemetery, Conestoga. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Clif’s memory may be made to Water Street Rescue Mission, 210 S. Prince St, Lancaster, PA 17603 or wsm.org.
