I'm heartbroken by the loss of my friend and former colleague. Cliff was someone I deeply respected, trusted, and cared for " both professionally and personally. He brought integrity, warmth, and insight to everything he did, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have shared time and experiences with him. I will always treasure those moments and carry his memory with me. He will be missed dearly.
- Greg HallmanMy heartfelt sympathy to my cousin Wayne Cunningham and all of Cliffs family.
I was just thinking about Cliff and remembering all the cat conversations over our years of working together. We would discuss a work thing and end up talking more about his baby and all the foster kittens I had at the time. My heart is broken for all of you and am sending my thoughts and prayers. I was honored to call Cliff my friend.
- Barbara L. CarboneI am so sorry to hear this, thinking of you all.

Forever in our hearts! Keep singing c-dub. Sending lots of love to his family.

- Joan MischI am truly saddened by the sudden loss of Cliff. He and I worked together quite closely over the past several years. When we weren't trying to better one another as leaders, we would delve into Star Wars, talking about new books, shows, movies. Our conversations have meant a great deal to me and I'll miss those especially. I hope Cliff knows the positive impacts he has had with those he met. Goodbye my friend.
