Cliff married Jeannette “Jane” C. Gallup on Sept. 19, 1948, in Irasburg, Vt. She passed away Oct. 31, 1979.
In 1953, Cliff began his teaching career at Jay High School and also coached basketball, baseball, football and track. In 1978, he led his team to the Maine Class C State Basketball Championship. Leaving to pursue employment in California and later with Burr-Burr in Vermont for 11 years, Cliff returned to Jay High School, retiring in 1986.
On June 17, 1983, he married Rose Dube in Jay and made their home on Ludden Drive. Following his retirement he enjoyed helping his wife Rose with the children of “Rose’s Daycare” in their home. He was there many mornings to greet the children and they loved him as well.
