I am sad to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person, but glad to hear that he had his family by his side did not suffer endlessly, and (for those that believe) is in a better place.
Godspeed Cliff!

I hardly had much interaction with him, but I could tell from what I did see that he had a heart of gold and character to match. He will be sorely missed. He now lights up heaven that much brighter. .
I received one of the first plates without asking for it, he initially contacted me about one for Arizona, but that was just where I was working, I recommended a member out there, and thought nothing else of it. Later on I received one of my prize Fiero items in the mail.
I wish I had a picture of it to post, I kinda feel bad that I never mentioned how much I love the plate, at the time I didn't want to upset anyone on here because there were 2 Missouri plates.
I'll miss you Cliff, Love you man.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. We will be having a memorial service on Friday, April 30 at 11 am (eastern). Guests may start arriving at 10 am and a luncheon will be served from 12 to 1 pm. It will be held at Grand Rapids First, located at 2100 44th Street SW in Wyoming.
I just found this. I'm sorry to hear of your loss and my condolences to his family. Cliff was a great man and i'm sure he will be sorely missed both here on the forum and the people he leaves behind.
Kenny, Your father was a great man. He had helped me though a very tough time in my life with his comforting words of wisdom, and the quick smack to reality that i needed. I owe my family being happily together to him. Without him being here as he was i'm not sure where my family would be.
R.I.P Cliff Gonda We will never forget you.

I'm somewhat new to the forum so I did not have the opportunity to chat with your father. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. Hang in there.
