The family will receive friends this Monday evening between 5:00 and 7:00 PM at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home, 1620 Savannah Hwy. His guestbook may be signed at www.JamesAMcAlister.com.

After retiring from the Goodie House, Cliff went on to work at MUSC for many years. He was a proud former member of the Air Force Reserves and was also a member of Seacoast Church in West Ashley.

Dear Marilyn and CM,
I have great memories of Cliff from when I worked at Belks many moons ago and our group of friends hung out every weekend, playing scrabble and watching movies! We then reconnected when we took our nephew, Parker, to BoyScouts and Cliffs son was in our troop...fun times and good memories .....Love to you all. Elaine "James" Goodh and Mike Gooch

Dear Cliff's family, I want you to know how much I looked forward to getting up early to grab a bite of yumminess and laughter at The Goodie House before classes or even during a break between them. (That pecan pie was the best!!!) I was sad when the restaurant closed and I'm heartbroken now at the loss of your precious father, son, brother and uncle. Your whole family is in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.
