Clifton was a very special person. He will be missed by all that knew him. He was the highlight at the end of Rick’s hard working day for many year. Rick always joyed visiting with him and Jessica and I always enjoyed him coming home and telling us what Clifton had talked about that day. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Clifton was a good friend of my Dad…and when Dad passed, he and Flora visited my Mom regularly. They did so much to help her emotionally…and I got to know him and love him too. Prayers to the family…we know he will be missed.
