Clifford Charles Vieth was born in Sparta, Wisconsin on November 9th, 1934, along with his identical twin, Clinton. He died on March 24th, 2018, surrounded by his family and passed peacefully.
He was a cherished Son, Brother, Husband, Father and Grandfather. He grew up on a farm with his seven siblings. He served in the Army, where he met his one and only love, Joannie, at a dance. They were married for 48 years and had three daughters and ten grandchildren. He will always be remembered for his willingness to help others, his love for the outdoors (especially fishing), and desire to make others smile with his sense of humor. He was a hard worker and loved his job as a tile setter. He would want those reading this to smile, so, we will leave you with one of his favorite jokes. “You have to work with grout fast, or otherwise it will turn sour, and then you will have sour grout.”
I admired the boldness Cliff had to share his love for Jesus with everyone he met. He loved praising the Lord. Cliff was fun to be around and Norm and I have many fond memories of Cliff and all the family. We were glad to have had the chance to just sit and sing old church songs to him. He loved to sing so hope he heard them. I think Cliff would like all gathering at his favorite fishing spot. No words can ease the heartache of loosing a loved one. So just sending love and hugs to you all.
What I remember of my uncle was his never ceasing bright hope. He made a special effort to teach everyone by example what love is. I missed him and all the Vieths. I know one day we will reunite too! May the comforting love of the Holy Spirit surround you now and may God’s love always be with you! In the name of Jesus I pray Amen!
