Kenneth W. Cluff Obituary:
We wish to express our gratitude and love for our Husband, Father, Grandpa and friend, Kenneth W Cluff, who passed away quietly Tuesday morning with his eternal companion at his side.
Ken was born in a small town in Duchesne County, to George Paul Cluff and Nellie May Powell Cluff, yet his wandering spirit and feet carried him many places during his lifetime. He grew up primarily in Salt Lake City, always enjoying the mountains and canyons that surround this great valley. He served a full time mission in the Hawaiian Islands, where he shared many fond memories of his service there. Later he was called to serve his Country during World War 11 in the Army Air Corps. Being stationed at the Air Base in Fort Douglas Arizona he soon met a beautiful brown eyed girl Gertrude Bigelow, who he took to the Mesa Arizona Temple to become his eternal companion on January 21, 1946. They shared a wonderful life together for 62 years, and were blessed with three surviving children. Steven Lee Cluff (of Evanston Wyoming) Kathryn Eileen Nichols, (of Salt Lake City) Benjamin W Cluff (and Tonya Farr Cluff, of Payson Utah). Ken and Trudy are blessed with seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who will miss their Grandpa's laughter, teases and hugs. Ken and Trudy also served a couples mission to Winnipeg Canada, as well as numerous church and civic callings during his lifetime. We are ever grateful in our family for the example of unconditional love and support, finding joy and laughter and sacrifice for others that Dad has been.
A Viewing for Ken will be held Friday, June 6th at the Mt. View 9th Ward Chapel, 1128 East 100 North, Payson, Utah, 9:00-11:45 a.m. Funeral Services will begin at 12:00 Noon.
Burial will take place at the Payson City Cemetery with Military Rites accorded by the American Legion, Dist. #4.
