So sorry to just now find out of Cliff’s passing. Was thinking about him today and did not know. My condolences to Joan, Jessica, Jennifer and Joseph. I worked with Cliff during the early 1980’s at Gulf Oil field office in Okarche,OK. Had the opportunity to have lunch with him a few years ago. What a bigger than life man and was a great mentor to me. RIP Cliff.

Joan,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Working with Cliff for over 10 years at Chevron I came to know him fairly well and found him a fun person to work with due to his humor and kindness. I was so glad that he chose to retire early to allow you some quality time together away from work. May your memories of that time be fond. Our prayers are with you and your family.
