I remember the many conversations, laughter, dancing, lake-time with Cliff and the Joneses. Some of us identify with the outlaw membership. You bet. We trust you are ok Cliff, traveling the faith journey as always. Show them how you can sing, Cliff. L

Uncle Cliff had a smile and corny joke for every occasion. His outlook was forever positive. My kids thought he was pretty fun even though he was an old guy! We are all going to miss him bunches. God bless Cliff's family left behind without him.

Crifton, as we in his latest family tended to call him, entered the Jones' clan quite late. He was quick, however to become one of us. Our sister Jane introduced him to Jones' Boat Landing on Castle Rock Lake. I recall his leaving work at Kraft on many a summer Friday, driving several hours to the Landing, working with us on Saturday and Sunday and leaving late to head back to Milledgeville. After our sister and Cliff married, it became a News Year tradition for us to gather at their house in Sterling. It was a great few days of playing cards, singing, eating and kidding one another. After Jane's death, Cliff and I would spend a week each summer in New Lisbon, WI visiting sister Jan and friends. I remember Cliff as a dancer, at least that was what he called himself. He would do it at the drop of a hat, while at the Rafter's or building porches on mobile homes. We had lots of great times together and these often were punctuated with some of Cliff's special. In his book "Have a Little Faith", Mitch Albom is asked to give the eulogy for his rabbi. Prior to the Rabbi's death, Mitch asked, "What is it that people fear most about death?" The rabbi responded, "Fear?" "Well for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?" Mitch wrote,"That's big". The rabbi responded, "Yes, but there is something else?" "What else?" Mitch asked. The rabbi leaned forward and added, "Being forgotten. The second death is to think that you died and no one would remember you". TRUST ME, THOSE THAT KNEW CLIFF WILL NOT FORGET HIM.

I can remember days at Castle Rock Lake hanging out with you and Aunt Jane. You seemed to think my nose was always red! Or at least teased me about it. I am so thankful you became a part of our family. I most certainly am better for knowing you. I love you and will miss you. Maria and Mike

I will miss Cliff dearly, especially the visits to each other's homes. Cliff's smile, joking and pleasant personality made him popular with everyone, young and old. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Cliff. Lorraine Jones
