Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Beatty Family. Thinking of you at this time.
We have lived next door to Cliff and Ileen for over 25 years and we couldn't have asked for better neighbours. I can honestly say Cliff was one of the nicest people that I have known. Always a smile on his face and willing to lend a hand to help others. Our thoughts are with Ileen and her family during this sad time. Hugs to you all.
Cliff was a great guy who I enjoyed working with, he taught me a lot about mechanics and life, and always had a good word to say about everyone. I worked with Cliff at Mechanical Services for 20 years. Ileen take good care and God Bless.
We grew up on the same street in Portage & spent time together with our friends. So sad to hear of the passing of a fun young guy. The family will have many special memories in the loss of a loved one. So sorry.
