In Memory of Clifford Stevens
OCTOBER 1, 1963 - DECEMBER 18, 1980
While playing baskedball with friends at the local West End YMCA in Chester, Pa, he fell, hit his head, and later succumbed to his injuries. He had a warm smile, witty intelligence, a sense of humor, and a playful spirit that left us all with many fond memories. Clifford was a dear friend to many of his Chester classmates and community friends.
Our Memories… and Clifford’s spirit still lives on within us.
