BROWN, Clifford - It is with profound sadness, much love and final acceptance, that we announce the passing on December 3, 2017 of a devoted husband, wonderful father and inspired grampa.
After a courageous seven year battle with cancer, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ called for Cliff to come home.
Cliff leaves behind his beloved wife of 31 years, Eve, and his children Jennifer (Paul), Charles, Theresa (Les), Neil (Darlene), Heather (Eric), Paul, Heather Lynne (James), Daniel (Melissa), 21 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
Loving brother to Frances, Lorne (Joan), Stewart (Sandra) and Keith.
Cliff was the oldest of five children born to Nellie and Maxwell Brown (deceased). Born in Newfoundland in 1937, he moved to Ontario and worked at the City of Scarborough as Superintendant of Street Operations until his retirement in 1999.
