So sorry to have missed the memorial service for Clifford. We have many good memories of Clifford and Helen and their family…They were a vital part of our church building group for many years. Early memories go back to our daughter taking twirling lessons from Helen. Love and prayers for all the family, Bobby and Imogene Spross

I remember about sixty some years ago are longer Faxon and I was leaving Faxon's house on our bikes headed back to my house,the chain came off my bike and Mr Reese was outside and told us to bring the bike to him and He put the chain back on and adjusted it. Faxon and I thanked him and we went on our way.Anytime when I would pass by Mr Reese would always wave HI to me.Again I am sorry for your loss.
