I got to know Cliff when I played baseball against Mark and Greg. We continued our acuantance as my mother and managed mananged the VFW club for many years while Cliff the VFW lanes downstairs. Being an bowler for my whole life, Cliff did a great job at the lanes. In more recent years as I took a job with Schwans, Cliff and Judy were very good customers and it always a pleasant stop on my route. I remember Cliff for his cheerful, easy going attitude and respected and admired him for all the time and miles he put on traveling around supporting his kids and Grandkids in there scholastic and sports endeavors. RIP Cilff Page. You are greatly missed and we will reunite one day!!
