RIP Uncle Clifton!
Clifton Blue was my uncle who I grew to respect and love and I enjoyed seeing him and my mom his sister cook fich, cakes etc…. and the joy that he brought to the family. We called him “DOC” and enjoyed the stories that he would share about his tennis playing, his sisters and brothers and there childhood days.
He is and will continued to be missed
