Clifford married Bonita Ritchie of Eads, Colorado on March 18, 1967 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The couple made their home in Gillette, Wyoming where they raised their family. Jim's favorite job was working for BOCES as a transportation maintenance foreman.  He loved the kids there.  He eventually went to work for the mines and retired from Coal Creek. Jim enjoyed reading anything he could get his hands on.  He had sometimes commented that although he had not physically seen much of the world, he traveled everywhere through the many books he read.  He also enjoyed woodworking and playing darts. Jim was a dedicated blood donor, he had donated gallons of blood over the years. Continuing in his spirit to assist those in medical need where he could, he gave one more selfless act of giving by being an organ donor.
