He graduated from Rushville High School in 1949. In 1950, at the age of 19, he joined the U.S. Navy. He spent three and a half years in the Korean "Conflict" and in Formosa on the Formosa Patrol. He was on the Aircraft Carrier USS BonHomme Richard CVA-31 during the Korean War, Task Force 7, and on the USS Salisbury Sound AV-13 when in Formosa.His most vivid memory was when they blew up the third largest earthen dam and hydroelectric plant in the world, on the Yalu River between Korea and the Red Sea. He was honorably discharge with a rank of MR3 in 1954. In April of 1951 he married Dorothy Tinsley (Branson) and to this union 5 daughters were born. Clifford was extremely proud of his daughters. He loved telling the world about his five chicks and having the best looking hay crew around. Cliff had a lively sense of humor and loved playing his guitar, singing and dancing. He loved telling stories through poetry and songs. Cliff was a great supporter of home town sports. One of his early passions as a young man was hunting coyotes, which lead him to racing greyhounds. In 1970 he started racing greyhounds on the Colorado circuit, and from there went on to own other kennels across the United States. In 1987, he decided to try his hand at raising greyhounds and training them for the track on the family homestead. During his stint on the race tracks,he had one dog named Miss Cyco that did exceptionally well and was the foundation of all the greyhound stock he raised.He retired from the raising and training of greyhounds between 2012 - 2013. However, his "hunt for the coyote" remained forever! Cliff was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, brother Leonard, and his youngest daughter Donelle Robins. Funeral services are scheduled for January 29, 2015 at the Alliance Nebraska Veterans Cemetery.
