What I remember most about Cliff is his larger than life personality and his wonderful laugh. Always quick with a joke or a quib, or just a wink and a smile, he made everyone feel included and part of something special.
Deepest condolences to the entire family. He will be missed, but always remembered.
Love, Rhiannon

Sharon, Darryl, Andrea & Jennifer.
I am very sorry to hear of Cliffs passing. Cliff was very good to me, from teaching me how to walk as a toddler to years later, hiring me and being the best boss I ever had, working at Canadian Blue Bird as a summer student. Cliff was also a big part of Dad's racing success and a good friend to him. I am very grateful to have known Cliff and appreciatte all the memories. Thinking of you all

To many funny stories to write , Cliff was our sales rep for Blue Bird for many years. He was a close friend of my father Roy Backholm . When Cliff came to Elgin to visit we had a special room in our house for Cliff 222b he would call it.
May he rest in peace ( with his golf clubs)

I enjoyed my time at Canadian Blue Bird with Cliff. He was a mentor to me in many ways and introduced me to many of the Blue Bird dealers. I travelled quite a lot with Cliff and specifically enjoyed our golf games. Condolences to the family.

I remember Mr. Kirkland as a coach in baseball and hockey, but especially hockey. Not being a gifted athlete I made up for it with effort. Mr. Kirkland noticed this. I was a terrible hockey player but he picked me for his Selects team. He told me it was because I always tried my hardest. This has always stayed with me and has been a life lesson. Effort can be of more value than talent. Thank you Cliff.
