Cliff was a born entertainer who loved life and his
precious dog, Thunder. The word “Can’t” was not in
his vocabulary, and he never thought twice if
someone needed help. Cliff retired as Illico Oil
T.B.A. Division Sales Manager, was affiliated with
Jefferson Street Christian Church; and was the
Exalted Ruler of The Grand Elks Lodge #914 from
1997-1998. This very giving and loving man from
Kentucky will be greatly missed.
A graveside service for Cliff will be held at 2:00
p.m. on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at New Union
Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in Cliff’s
name to the donor’s choice. Services have been
entrusted to Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home,
Lincoln.
