In Loving Memory of
Clifton Andrew Mitchell
May 30, 1925-April 14, 2020
The family is saddened to announce the passing of Cliff at the Centennial Manor on Tuesday at the age of 94.
Predeceased by parents Mary and Alexander Mitchell.
Beloved husband of Muriel Jean "Pat" Mitchell (predeceased).
Loving father of Judy Hales Mitchell.
Caring Grandpa of Janice (Ed) Foster.
Great grandfather of Cole and Joshua Foster.
Special brother of Shirley (predeceased), Phyllis (predeceased) and Janet of Sudbury.
He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews.
Cliff was a "man of the land". He was born on the family farm and had a love of farming which included the "cream runs" with his Dad. Cliff's fondness for farming included the family dog, there was always one nearby . Cliff had several over the years and each was special to him.
He was a devoted bus driver for many years and had a special bond with the children he was entrusted with on a daily basis. He made sure they arrived to and from school safely with kindness and devotion.
There was not a person Cliff met that he did not like. He did like you more if you drove a Ford!
He was a Mason in the Little Current Branch for many years and had an avid interest in curling.
Cliff never stayed idle for long. At the age of 93 he still enjoyed moving the snow with his tractor in the winter and grading his driveway in the summer. Cliff had the smoothest driveway in Manitowaning!
A private family service will be held

I have such fond childhood memories of visits to Great Uncle Cliff and Aunt Pat's farm on Manitoulin. I will never forget their hospitality, the hearty food, cuddling with piglets in the barn and the great times we had. Even my last visit with Uncle Cliff was not complete without a visit to his chicken coop! I'm sure my deep love for animals was born on those visits. I always thought of him as a quiet giant with a big heart and a mischievous smile. My heart felt condolences to Judy. Rest in peace, Uncle Cliff and say hello to Aunt Shirley and Grandma Phyllis for me.

Cliff was a great guy ! Cliff was our children’s school bus driver ! He was always great with all the children on his bus ! Cliff would take the bus on the last day of school and buy everyone an ice cream ! Then it was pop and a treat when you were getting off the bus at the end of the school year !
Rest in pease Cliff you will always be remembered in our family ! Deepest sympathy to Cliff’s daughter Judy, Granddaughter and husband as well as her two son’s !
