It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Cliff Hemmerling, our beloved husband, father, brother and son.
Cliff worked in the telecommunications industry for 27 years in the Yukon, British Columbia and Alberta until 1993 when he and his wife, Muriel opened CJ’s Liquor Store in Whitecourt, Alberta.
Cliff was predeceased by his father, Dellray in 2003. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Muriel as well as daughters, Julie and Andrea. He is also survived by his mother, Julia–semicolon– six brothers, Ken (Sharon), Dale (Sharon), Alden (Carrie), Lloyd, Lyle and Trevor.
Cliff was well respected by his business community, much loved by his family and friends and adored by his children. We all loved him so and we miss him already. At Cliff’s request, there will be no funeral service.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Cliff\’s death. He was a good co-worker during my time in Edson. He could be gruff, but he was a nice guy, and I liked and respected him.
Please accept my condolences.

Muriel, Julie and Andrea,
I was so sorry to read about Cliff\’s passing. I always enjoyed talking to \”Mr. Cliffie\” when he would come into the bank in Edson. It was obvious to me that your family shared a special kind of love and that he was your true soulmate, Muriel. He was a very special man and I know that your family will miss him so very much. Please take care of each other and know that there are many people holding you in their hearts during this very sad time.

Our thoughts are with you. Words cannot describe how we felt when we heard the sad news of Cliff\’s death. To say we were shocked is putting it mildly,
. Altho we only met Cliff when he and Muriel moved to Yellowstone he was a neighbour in the true sense of the word, always willing to help when required. We will miss him and Bandit walking by and his smile.
