I was friends with Cliff for 30 years. We met in 1981 while he was working as a Pizza man in Montrose NY. That was the summer he tried out as a Pitcher for the Yankee's Minor League baseball team. Unfortunately he didn't make the team. Shortly after he went to work at General Motors corp. in Tarrytown NY, where his Dad had already worked for 30 years,..I was just a 5 year new guy. Shortly afterwards Cliff bought himself his first new car, 1985 Camaro RS, Copper color with Tan lower trim. I had the Monte Carlo SS. We spent hours waxing and cleaning them, and crusied around showing them off. We were also regulars at the local Bar and played on the Dart team. We were a force to be reconded with when we teamed up. Without speaking we knew what the other was thinking, we rarley loss. We also double dated throughout the 80's always showing our dates a good time. One of the most fun times I remember, was the Holloween party at Johnny Rits Bar 1985. We dresses up as a old man with a Young hooker. Yes,..Cliff was the hooker. By the end of the night, Cliff was table top dancing to the song "Blue Berry Hill", everyone in the bar went wild,..throwing money at Cliff,..I never laughed so hard in my life. We won a bottle of Champain! When Cliff moved to Florida in 1990, it was never the same. He did come to New York to visit us at our home for a few days in 2003,& 2004. We had some great BBQ food and watched Fireworks from the end of the driveway on 4th of July. Cruised my Corvette during the day, seeing the local sites. The last time I saw Cliff was 2007, unfortunately at his Grandmothers Wake. We had dinner together the following evening, and back to Florida a day later. He was like a brother to me, I will miss him dearly.
