I was a young man when I met Cliff at hunting camp in Steuben County. I loved listening to the stories about his camp in the Adirondacks and his work. He was the guy who loved to hunt and would drive through the night to show up at camp before first light on opening morning for the first hunt and hunt all day long. Cliff I think of you every year as the opening of deer season arrives. My thoughts and prayers are with Cliff and his family.
