So sorry to hear of Cliff’s passing. I was a teacher at Fairlawn Elementary when Cliff was teaching there. My son Bryce was in his 5th grade class way back when.

Cliff was a great guy and enjoyed the sports he played in high school. He was always fun to be around.
I am sure his family will miss his smile. Cliff was mistaken for me at a Junior high football game by some of my friends in a neighboring town. I never was able to convince them it was not me. I was a couple years ahead of him so a bit older.

Upon hearing of Cliff’s passing, a great deal of fond memories came flooding back. Always appreciated his friendship as a brother in Christ, as well as being the great father to some wonderful kids of whom were all a very special part of my life. He will be missed, but I celebrate his eternal life with our Lord. Nancy, you and the kids are in our prayers.

So very sorry to hear of Cliff’s passing. My last visit to AUMC pre-covid, he and Nancy and I had a nice chat. I never expected that would be my last time visiting with him. He was a kind, gentle and faithful servant and Glenn and I enjoyed working with him in varying capacities at AUMC. I’m sure he had a positive influence on every child he came in contact with.
In sympathy to the entire Kelly family.
