Cliff is survived by his wife and best friend, Vicki (nee Priestman), his children, Emily (Luke Barron) and Matthew (Hailey Hutchins).
Big brother to Judy King, and brother-in-law to Jeff and Sue Priestman, Cathy and Chris Peers, Mary and Ken Debono, and Ralph Rehlinger. Son-in-law of Joan Priestman.
He will be remembered fondly by his many nieces, nephews and greats.
Predeceased by his parents, Lloyd and Gertrude Ritchie, and by his youngest sister, Lois Rehlinger. Following his wishes, a cremation has taken place.
Regrettably due to the limitations of today's world, the family has made the difficult decision to not have a service.
If you wish to honour Cliff's memory, please consider a donation in his name to the Canadian Kidney Foundation or a charity of your choosing.
One last request: pour yourself a stiff drink, watch a hockey game, or crank your favourite country song for Cliffy! Don't be sad for what is lost, celebrate what we had – It was one hell of a ride!
