We lived by Cliff when he was in Auburn Hills. He and I would talk in the yard about track and he was always up to visit when driving around the neighborhood. He was so nice to our family and even paid our son to take care of some of his plants while away on vacation. I´ve missed having him across the street. Our deepest sympathies from our family to yours.
