CLIFFORD S. MATTHEWS,
2021
Passed away after a lengthy illness with cancer, in the comfort of his home on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at the age of 72 years. Like a strong man, he was able to hold off this horrible disease longer than anyone expected. Strong willed even in illness, he superseded all medical expectations. Because of this we were able to share many extra years with him. We are fortunate and grateful for that extra time and to have been by his side when he left us. A big heartfelt thank you to the VON nurses (Pauline, Kim, Lori and Debbie as well as all the volunteers and staff of CCAC. Also Donna Young and Debra Burtschenko for the care that raised the bar and made such a difference.Cliff worked for the Ministry of Revenue as a property assessor for 30 years. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge for over 50 years.Cliff was predeceased by his father Stanley Matthews Sr., his mother Jessie (Crawford) Matthews Fisher and his brother Stanley Matthews.
