Condolences for the family of “James Paterson ‘Pat’ CIuff”
My deepest sympathy to Kara and Curtis for your loss
Our condolences to the family. Pat will be missed on our downtown excursions. Rest peacefully Pat…
Dear Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I am Ferne McClure&&single&&s neighbor and also a friend of Arlean Robert&&single&&s.
To the Cluff Family: What an honor to have known both Pat and Norma through church and the original coffee group who met each morning when “Terry&&single&&s” was in Seaforth. Pat always had a smile, a twinkle in his eye and enjoyed a good story. Norma of course made the very best “deviled eggs” ever! They were so poud of all of you. Wonderful memories will guide you through the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Joyce
So sorry to hear this news. Although I did not know Pat well I do remember his friendly face at church and recently at the local hospital while I was visiting mom. My sympathy to you all.
Uncle Pat will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Sorry for your lose.
Dear Yvonne and Tom — Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Dad, Yvonne. I was intending to go to the funeral home on Friday but unfortunately I will not be able to make it. Be assured that we are thinking of you at this difficult time, and please convey our sympathy to all your family members.
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. We are praying and thinking of you all and send all our love. Aunt Frankie shared a few stories of how “good” the children were when she helped babysit them when she stayed with them in Woodstock. We miss you greatly Pat.
Dear Cluff Family. I am very sorry for the loss of your Father, Pat. He was a good friend to my Mom, Arlean Robarts. She enjoyed his company in coffee circles and as a theatre companion. I will miss playing pepper with Pat and seeing him in the community. May you all find comfort in your memories and the sharing and caring of others who called him Friend.
I served with Pat as a young, 16 year old Soldier Apprentice where we went from boys to men in 2 years from 1958-60. During that time we became more than friends, more like a band of brothers. That bond remains today, some 58 years later. All of his former brothers mourn his loss. Pat was a loyal and true friend to all who knew him. He will be missed. Stand easy, Soldier and Rest in Peace my brother.
My sincere condolences to the Cluff Family.
