He served in various capacities for the city, including launching and organizing Sheridan Celebrates in 1990, for more than 30 years - until he retired in 2015. After retirement - he continued to serve on the Board of Adjustments until his passing. In addition, he served on the Denver Regional Council of Government (DRCOG), AARP, and participated in both state and local government initiatives.

More than anything, Cliff was a family man, always there for his family whether at holidays, birthdays, plays, soccer games, moving, building homes, wiring decks or simply spending time with his grandchildren. He was a hardworking, fun loving, dedicated man who gave 100% to everything he endeavored. His smile, laughter and dedication to all to of the people and things he loved will be sorely missed.
