Born in Westerlo, NY, Cliff entered the United States Navy on January 20, 1943 when he was just 16 years old. He served aboard the USS Belle Isle (AG-73), a Basilan-class miscellaneous auxiliary ship configured as a repair ship and used in Pacific Ocean operations, and the USS Cacapon (AO-52), a T3 Cimarron-class fleet oiler that provided petroleum products where needed to combat ships in the Pacific. He served honorably, and was discharged on August 2, 1946 at the rank of Seaman 1st Class.
