He was also an avid fan of greyhound dog racing and for many years was a regular at the Raynham-Taunton Greyhound Park. Cliff worked for Armstrong Company in Braintree for twenty years, retiring in 1991.

He was a devoted volunteer at My Brother’s Keeper delivering furniture, food and Christmas gifts. In 1996 Cliff received My Brother’s Keeper “A Friend in Need Award” for his service to the community.
A devoted uncle, he was always present and attentive to his many nephews and nieces.
