Cliff was a member of First Lutheran Church, where he had been baptized and confirmed, and enjoyed participating in Luther League. He was a member of the V.F.W. and the American Legion. &8220;Doc&8221; as he was affectionately known, enjoyed time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. His skilled hands worked on many homes, churches, and the ski jump on White Lake. The ski hill was where he spent many hours in competitive ski jumping and nursing the occasional broken shoulder. He loved helping his family with projects and passing on his skills for future generations.
