From Ed Crumrine:
Cliff was kinda stealthy while fishing on Yankee Fork, all of a sudden he would be standing beside me. Will miss him.
From Jerry Gillette :
I would always look for Cliff whenever I was in gym in Burley or Minico. Like me he would be at every game and always with Ruth. He had a great attitude and enjoyed his passion and take on the teams. A consummate outdoorsman who spent considerable time improving nature on his own time. Met him more than once in the Stanley Basin while he was donating his time working for the forest service. Will save a spot for you on the 204 hole buddy.

From Mikaela Quintana (Salazar):
Coach G was such an amazing and memorable person! The fun, life lessons you taught during my years playing under you will never be forgotten. You truly had such a great impact on my life. After your coaching days were over I would run into you at local high school ball games and we would chat about the good ol' days and you would always comment on my girls and their dance skills at the halftime performances. One of my favorite things was running into you around town or at the games to just chat and catch up on life! You will always have a place in my heart and memories! Condolences to Ruth and family. May they find peace in the time of heartache.

It breaks my heart to see you leave, but if you are okay with going to the lord, then, that’s okay with me. You are going to the best and only God that loves more than our parents. We will miss you. Our hearts go out to the family with prayers. Reynaldo and Yolanda Garcia.
From Dave Gibbons:
My heart is heavy today but also full of joyous memories of my good friend and coworker Cliff. I remember the night we were having an emergency in the hospital with many serious patients. Cliff walked into the lab, asked how he could help and went to work. I hired him the next day. For the next 25 years we worked together as friends. We hunted together and spent time together. I enjoyed our visits together after our retirements. I know he is finally free from the disease that has pained him so. My prayers are for Bim and her family, may God bless you and bring comfort to you souls.
From Rebecca Harper:

I have some amazing memories of hunting with Cliff. He taught me so much and I was always amazed at how he could out hike us young bucks. He was a mountain man and a true one of a kind. I am glad I got to go with him one last time. Thank you, Cliff. Rest in piece.
