On Saturday, August 21, there was a wonderful gathering of friends, family, and work colleagues at Scudder Beach, in Northport, to commemorate the life and passing of Clifford M. Gardiner. Some people read poems, others recounted what a wonderful friend Cliff was to them , and others the help that Cliff had been in their lives. There was music and songs by Sandy and Steve Edwards. It was a very moving experience for all of us to be together, to celebrate the life of such a gentle, talented and loving friend. Cliff was the best art director I ever worked with! First at Newsday working on the Sunday Magazine, and then when he went to Parents' Magazine as Director of Design, where I did freelance assignments for him for about 10 years. That collaboration and work with Cliff was some of the most rewarding work I did in my career.

Although I never met Cliff, I remember you spoke very highly of him as a very kind person and exceptional colleague whose friendship transcended beyond Newsday. My condolences to you and his family.
