Clifford Lawrence Tann

In Loving Memory of
Clifford Lawrence Tann
December 15, 1932 - June 21 2024 

Peacefully passed away at the Manitoulin Cenntenial Manor on Friday, June 21, 2024 at the age of 91.

Beloved husband of Phyllis “Marie” (nee Wood) for 71 wonderful years.

Cherished father to Michael (Lenora) and Murray (Freida).

Proud grandpa of Andrea, Bradley, Lisa, Meghan and Kaitlyn,
plus great grandchildren Samantha and Jayden, Colton and Adalyn, Everley and Mila
and Olivia and Parker.

Predeceased by his parents Lawrence and Elizabeth (nee Hammond).
And his sisters Irene (Wood) Cadieux, Lorna (Sloss) Van Horne and dear brother Ronald.

Survived by his brother-in-law Clayton Van Horne
and sister-in-law Ann-Marie Tann.

He will also be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.

Cliff worked as a licenced auto mechanic for many years. His favourite job was owning Tann’s Tractor Sales where he sold Ford tractors and equipment. The most rewarding was starting up Tann’s Transmission, which he operated for decades working along with his son Mike. Even after he retired late into his seventies, he walked over to the garage to tinker, as it wasn’t just a job,
it was his favourite hobby.
He was also a well known school bus owner and driver for many years, with a strict rule not to talk from seat to seat, but he would always treat the kids for ice cream on the last day of school.

A special thanks to the staff at the Manitoulin Centennial Manor
for the great care and help over the last five years.
