  2. In loving memory of Clifford Rogers Lewis, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. It has been a pleasure to know you Clifford R. Lewis, who I always called, C.R., a friend and colleague, working with Clifford on the Fire Department and as member of the OKC Retirees. A gentlemen and a man of faith, a retired Firefighter, and friend. Never a harsh word did I hear him say. He was a special man among men, and Margie and I will miss you old friend, and your weekly phone calls to check on our welfare always motivated me to feel that there was something I needed to do, and realized it was to return Clifford’s call. Gods speed old friend.
