Clifford was born and raised in Beausejour, Manitoba. He lived most of his life on the family Opyc homestead in Seddon’s Corner. He worked his entire career with Inland Aggregates. Clifford loved operating his loader and cutting his acres and acres of grass.
Clifford enjoyed playing crib and watching hockey. He was a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan. He was an amazing Poppa to Danna-lee and she brought him such joy and fulfillment to his heart and to his life.
