Guestbook
I will miss you soooo much Pop! I love you! You will always be Our Sweet Angel!
Donna, Kevin, Chris, and family: We pour out our love, prayers, sympathy, and support in this hard time. May God fill your hearts with His special peace and comfort. God bless! Virgil & Dorri Clotfelter Garden City Church of Christ
We are very sorry for your loss. My family and I have kept you in our thoughts and prayers.
My condolences to the family. I have known Cliff since April of 1968 when I married his youngest sister, Yvonne (Evie). I am proud to have counted him among my friends. He was a decent and kind man who would drop whatever he was doing if someone needed his help. In 2002 as I was preparing to move to Virginia, my home needed some carpentry work and Cliff along with his nephew Cliff Ballard (Jane’s son)drove from Indiana to Tampa, Florida and would not take a dime for their efforts. His service during the Korean War is testament to his love for his country and his family. I will miss his sense of humor and his gentile smile. The world will be a darker place without Cliff Harp in it.
So sorry to read about Cliff’s passing. I have many fond memories of sleepovers with Kim. Watching the video brought back wonderful thoughts, and it looks like Cliff really enjoyed his beautiful grandbabies! Hugs to all of you.
Papaw I miss you so much. I hurt everyday trying not to admit you are gone. You were the best Dad I could have ever had and I miss you so much.
