Cliff retired from Norfolk Southern after 33 years of service when he was only 53. He spent the next 25 years restoring vintage cars and golfing at Ashley Plantation Golf Course where he made several holes in one.
Cliff asked to be remembered on the last hole of Ashley Plantation Golf Course making that final putt and, at his request, no service will be held.
