Clifford was a member of Antioch Missionary Baptist where he served on the Deacon Board, in the Male Chorus, Mass Choir, and was of the Simeon Tribe. Clifford was a U.S. Army Veteran. He was a retired employee of the City of Huntington. He being the earnest hardworking man that he was he held several jobs throughout the course of his life. He also was masterfully skilled in being a Handy Man and cutting grass; in which he believed to be a work of art and not just a task. I quote, "Cutting grass is NOT just pushing the lawnmower back and forth, but you have to do it from your heart in order to do it the right way."

Three grandsons: Meterrian Ingram Alexander; Malikai Jamal Harmon, and Elijah Maurice White. Six brothers: Dr. C.W. (Peggy) Dunning, Rev. Les Dunning, Dr. O.H. (Laverne) Dunning II, Marcus Alexander, Steven Dunning, and David Alexander.

A celebration of life will be 1:00PM Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, with Pastor Reginald Hill, Officiating. Friends may call from Noon until the time of the service at the church. Scripture: II Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought the good, worthy, honorable, and noble fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith. 8 As to what remains henceforth there is laid up for me the victor's crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me and recompense me on that great day-and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and yearned for and welcomed His appearing (His great return). GOD GIVES HIS TOUGHEST BATTLES TO HIS STRONGEST SOLDIERS
