Got a call today from a most charming lady. Her name is Perl and she is the wife of a very lovely man Cliff. She informed me that Cliff passed away July 1st.
Cliff was in his mid to late seventies but I never asked as he was as sharp a mind that I had encountered in such a long long time. He was born in Butte, Montana and he was a Phd Chemical Engineer. He had a very keen sense of the absurd and the humor that goes with it.
What is the tragedy is that for the last month I kept telling myself to call and check in and catch up. This I did not do and my only consolation is that he and I will laugh in that place we all go to.
I miss you already Cliff.
Damn these Sins. See you next time
