Love from your family. DEMARAY, Clifford Russell Cliff was born on January 16, 1926 in the family farmhouse near Belmont, Ontario. He died peacefully at Oakville Memorial Hospital on March 1st after a brief illness, 6 weeks after his 93rd birthday. Son of the late Earle and Myrtle Demaray nee Cole, Cliff is survived by his wife of 68 years, Dorothy nee Hi l l , daughters Jane and E l len (Chris), son Stephen (Dorothy), sister Reta, brother-in-law Edward and grandchildren Sarah (Aden) and Lisa (James). Cliff was a lawyer, a fan of cowboy and hurtin' songs, and many other things, as well. He built his own houses, decks and fences, did his own landscaping and fixed his own cars. He put up his own chandeliers, too - and tested them by hanging from them. When Cliff showed up with a roll of wire, a ground sheet, a propane torch and vice grips, he wouldn't leave until the problem was fixed. Correctly. Cliff was the first student from his country schoolhouse to graduate from university - UWO BA '46 and law degree, Osgoode Hall '50. He set up a legal practice in a second-floor office on Avenue Rd, south of the n e w l y - o p e n e d 4 0 1 . H e b o t h wi tnes sed and cont r ibuted to Toronto's great post-war expansion. The family moved to Oakville in 1969 when Cliff was hired as the town's first in-house solicitor. His triumph in that capacity was his carriage of the Official Plan hearing in 1979, which lasted 6 months, with 36 opposing counsel. His last role was as COO of the Town of Dundas. I t was a per fect f i t : whi le he quarterbacked labour negotiations and construction projects, he also tuned the town fire engine and oversaw repair of the town's clock- tower clock. His kind aren't made anymore and he will be dearly missed. Thank you, Cliff, for being such a wonderful husband and father and grandfather. We h o p e y o u r q u a l i t i e s a n d character live on in us. According to his wishes, Cliff will be cremated, and there will be a family celebration of his life at a later date.
