He also worked with the State of Texas as a consultant for traffic light systems. He enjoyed city government and once ran for city office.. Cliff had many hobbies, three of which are: hunting, he was an avid NRA member often competing at the rifle range; fishing with many fine catches brought home for fish fries, and these gatherings were always a high point for Cliff having hosted them at his own home; and the last but not least of his hobbies was his garden. He shared his bountiful yields with family and friends.. Cliff was a longtime, highly respected member of the 11th Ave. Church. He never missed a Sunday until his health prevented his presence. He really enjoyed the piano music presented by Kathryn Lively. He was a 60-year member of the Masonic Lodge #611 in Mineral Wells.. Condolences may be left at www.bcbfuneralhome.com..
