Crystal McKay posted a condolence
My heart breaks for your family as I read this notice. I worked with Cliff at RPC from 1986-1994 and have many fond memories when we would sit down to do the invoicing, an administrative task he wasn't fond of but knew it had to be done. We had many great chats over the years and one of my fondest was when he taught me and gave me guidance on starting plants from seeds. When I was married in 1990, Cliff and Jean attended my wedding and shortly thereafter we attended their 25th wedding anniversary. After many years of no contact, I was not only pleasantly surprised but saddened to see them at Thomas Hall where my mom was living. After just recently having lost my mom, I feel your heartbreak but know that the memories will keep you warm. Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear dad. Regards, Crystal McKay

Dear Jean and Family: It is with great sadness that I learned of the departing of Cliff. Dianne and I extend our deepest sympathy , Working with Cliff over the years that I have known him was always enjoyable. I think back at the times we spent cutting wood together and, of course, the many jobs at rpc where we worked on many projects. You will always be on my mind and in my heart. Love and fond memories, Jim and Dianne

Hi Yolanda, I'm very sorry to hear about your father's passing. It is so especially hard during the time of this pandemic when you cannot be with your family to grieve his passing together, and his final wishes cannot be granted. I hope that you are still able to find solace in speaking with your family through virtual means, and knowing that your co-workers are thinking about you and your family during this difficult time.

Barbara White posted a condolence
Yolanda I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's death. So hard at any time but so much more difficult now when you couldn't be with him and now can't be with your family as you all mourn his passing. I am amazed at how frequently during the day I think about my parents (who both died in the past 3 years) - It is so true that they do live on in you. And talking about them also helps. Your Dad, I assume from the obit, lived a very active, engaged and full life. Passing on his love of life and of learning to Oscar will honour your Dad and enrich your son and help you mourn his death. I am thinking of you at this time. Take care

Sonya, sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. No matter how old we are, the loss of a parent is always tough. My papa has been gone for just over 2 years and I still think of him fondly every single day. I know you will cherish your memories of your dad as well. Take care - TMD
