CLIFFORD HARTMAN HUFFMAN

Clifford Hartman Huffman, 79, of Rural Valley PA entered the church triumphant on Tuesday 27 April after a long illness.

He was born on January 7 1931 in Whitney PA, son of Homer and Margaret Huffman. After serving in the Air Force for 10-1/2 years, where he met the love of his life, Carole, he became a self-employed dairy farmer until his retirement in 1995. Cliff remained active in his retirement enjoying bridge clubs and providing chauffeuring services for the local community, especially the Amish community.

In his 32 years of marriage to Carole, together they served God through their church, Pleasant Union Lutheran Church. Part of their service to God was as foster care parents for numerous youth, providing a safe and loving home for youth in need as they transitioned through difficult times in their lives.

Cliff is also survived by step-sons Tim Jablunovsky and his wife Sue of Indiana, PA, Nick Jablunovsky and his wife Carrie of Valencia, Pa, and Steve Jablunovsky and his wife Bethany of Indiana, PA.

He is also survived by numerous foster children and grandchildren who continued to love and care for Cliff. A special thanks to Ken and Carla Martin who will always hold a special place in the heart of Cliff and the family for their love and support over years.
