Title: Board Members who are real Heros, that's FloridaCliff
Post by: Dave Siegel on June 23, 2007, 07:02:23 AM
Every once in a while an outstanding individual comes into your life and does something really wonderful for you without asking for anything in return. FloridaCliff did that to me this week and I don't know to thank him other them tell all his friends here on this board what a nice, and thoughtful guy Cliff really is. Without hesitation Cliff offered me something of his that has helped me beyond anything that I might have dreamed of. It's not necessary to describe what he gave, just that he gave without question. That is very admirable in my eyes.

Thank you Cliff. You really are a Hero Member.

You have become very enriched in life with Cliff, Julie and family in your lives.  I am happy to have met you in our travels and look forward to many more get togethers in our lives.  We need more people in our lives like Cliff, again a true inspiration to our busnut family.

Hope to see you in Arcadia this year, Right??

Both Cliff and Julie have earned all the kudos you have given them.  I include Julie simply for the reason that no matter how great a guy is, what it is that keeps him that way is the other half of himself which in this case is Julie.

We're lucky to know them and be able to count them as friends.

I too have been the beneficiary of their kindness...and on more than one occasion.  They're the gift that keeps on giving.

Cliff

We hooked up with Cliff & Julie this weekend. What a BLAST!  ;D  ;D  ;D
But I'm sure that they can't walk on water, at least not without getting the bottom of their feet wet.  ;D


They even let us  :o stay in the bus!  That was AWESOME.  ;D They set a new standard for friendly hospitality.

Definitely merits a dover!

Too bad the drive is so long  :'(

But now it's my turn to play host.

Cliff,
Your right, it is usually at someone's eulogy that we talk kindly of someone and you are also right again that he / she won't know.  But you got the opportunity to know now how some of us respect you and your family ahead of time which we should do more of now days to each other with things going on in this world like they are. 

Enjoy the praise we all feel and I am sure there are more of us that feel the same way and again maybe a little praise here and there for each other while we are alive can go a long, long way and make our lives much more fulfilled. Thanks again for all you do for us all Cliff and Julie.

Boy Gary, I couldn't agree with you more. It seems everything in our lives has turned to a negative skew and instead of being nice to each other sometimes we tend to hurt each other with sticks and stones and the worst hurt is in words.

How great it would be if we really all got along, and everyone talked as nicely about all of us as we have about Cliff here. I going to try and do my part. That's a promise.

Me too! My lovely wife always says, easier to attract flies with honey, rather than vinegar.

Great Post for sure!

Paul,

My mom always used the "easier to attract flies with honey, rather than vinegar" line on us kids.  I have always tried to follow that little nugget of truth and it has worked well for me so far!   :)  Life is too short to be mean & ugly all the time.

I hope I get the opportunity someday to meet Cliff, as well as, a whole bunch of the other great busnuts!!  ;D

Small world. Cliff (luvrbus) helped me when I broke down in Palm Springs last Christmas. Brought me the exact part I needed. Of course I must mention Sonya, his wife. Great people. Could not ask for a better people to meet. Your'e right it must be the name.  :)

Hope to meet the other Cliff some day.
