He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Anthony’s Parish. Cliff was a “Mr. Fix-It”, with a curious mind always finding a way to repair or improve things. He was passionate about cars and would always have the most polished engine around. Cliff enjoyed bowling in the winters and golf in the spring/summertime achieving a hole-in-one at Duck Creek Golf Course. With much love and pride, he was very devoted to his family.

Cliff is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Joyce, Davenport, daughters: Connie (Kevin) Kacere, Johnston, Iowa and Renee (Albert) Hoffman, Noblesville, Indiana; grandchildren: Lauren (Dave) Kaniuk, Leah (David) Gibelyou, Christopher, Bethany, and Grace Hoffman; siblings: Leo (Evelyn) Zaug, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Justine Herzog, Dubuque.
