lence in Teaching". But Cliff's true legacy is in the children whose lives he changed forever as their gifted teacher, coach, uncle and father. Cliff loved his family, friends, reading, and nature. He also enjoyed a good joke, trivia, math, sports, playing Sheephead with buddies and swimming in Lake Michigan as a founding member of the Sheboygan Polar Bears. In his modest way, Cliff taught us the meaning of courage and love. He faced great challenges with a sense of humor and the belief that one should not turn inconveniences into problems. Cliff practiced the ideals in Robert Fulghum's book: All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which (in true reading teacher manner) he would assign as the curriculum for a good life. An informal celebration of Cliff's life will be held at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg on Friday, November 23 with visitation at 1:00 and a service at 1:45. Donations to: Park Elem. School in Cross Plains (for books), the MS Society, Agrace Hospice (for their loving care), or the charity of your choice which benefits children or literacy.
