    Betsy my prayers are with you and Cliffs family. I am so very sorry for your lost and the lost for everyone who knew Cliff. You probably don't remember me but I worked with Cliff at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in the Radiological Control Office for many years. He was one of the kindess and most generous men I have ever known. He was a friend to many. I am sure he will be truly missed by all. God Bless you and all of the Doxey family.
