I had the pleasure of working with Cliff for a few years during his telco days at LET, and we recently reconnected when I stumbled over him selling some of his vinyl collection on FB Marketplace. We discovered we lived only a 10 minute walk from each other and it was great to reconnect and catch up with Cliff for a coffee only in April, we were looking forward to more catch ups (this time with some vino!) after I got back from my holiday, it was so sad to hear of his passing. Always with a huge smile and a quick come back, he was the life of the party and always had time for me. When I listen to those vinyls I will remember his words with a smile “There’s nothing better than listening to an album from start to finish the way the artist wanted you to.”
It was a beautiful send off to celebrate his life yesterday. To all of Cliff’s family and his “chosen family” my thoughts are with you all as you progress through this difficult time xxx
Rest in peace my beautiful cousin Cliff. We didn’t get to catch up often, but when we did, it was always great seeing you and your big smile. Until we meet again. xxx
Fly high Cliff. Such a huge hearted man who I remember fondly.
Condolences to family and friends. 🙏
Clifford holds a special place in my heart. I always looked forward to our catch-ups at family gatherings… those warm hugs, illuminating smiles, and such wit! Will miss you, and regret ever so much not getting to spend more time with you then and now. Much love and condolences to all near and far who loved him.
So sad to hear of Cliff’s untimely passing.
He was a genuine bright light in at times, a dull world.
Reading others comments here reflect the positive impact he had around him. I was grateful to meet him on 1% Club and chatted to him often after.
He was generous and kind, empathic and gracious and of course bloody funny!
RIP fella and thank you for your vibrancy.
My heartfelt sympathies to Cliff’s family and friends 🧡. I had a great chance to work with Cliff through MasterChef Australia. I was a contestant on the show he always made us feel very comfortable and helped us in so many ways. He was funny, kind and generous with his time. Rest in peace Cliff. Love and hugs to you all during this difficult time.
Cliff was just a friendly beautiful soul. So kind, so caring and so full of joy. His smiling self made you smile right back at him. He was an angel on earth and now our special angel watching over all those he knew.
RIP Cliff. Sending love to his family and friends near and far.
Wishing all of Cliff’s family and friends heartfelt condolences at this sad time. He was such a lovely guy, so much fun, and a treasured colleague. Rest easy Cliff.
My beautiful friend Cliff,
My heart is aching knowing you’re no longer with us and not just a phone call away.
You were one of the most generous spirits I’ve ever known—hysterically funny, endlessly witty, wildly creative, and above all, deeply caring. You had a way of making people feel seen, supported, and loved, often when they needed it most.
Thank you for every laugh, every conversation, every piece of encouragement, and every one of those legendary hugs that somehow made everything feel a little lighter. Your friendship carried me through so many chapters of my life, and I will always be grateful for your unwavering support and kindness.
The world feels a little dimmer without you in it. You were sunshine, my friend—warm, bright, and impossible to forget.
There is a huge hole in my heart knowing you’re gone, but there is also immense gratitude for having known and loved you.
Rest easy, my beautiful friend Cliff. You will be missed beyond words and remembered with love always.
May your memory continue to bring warmth, laughter, and sunshine to all who were lucky enough to know you. ❤️
Our loving thoughts and deepest sympathy to Cliff’s family – there are no words. We’ve had the wonderful pleasure of having Cliff in our lives for more than 25 years – he was clever, creative, funny, thoughtful and all round hilarious at times. Planning our 40th birthday parties – his flare for decor was 2nd to none. We were blessed with a visit to us in Margaret River only a few years ago – so glad we got to spend more recent times, over dinner and reminiscing. We’ve shared some beautiful photos of him – showing his true style and flair. Cliff you will be so sadly missed by your friends and family – I’m sorry we’d not spoken more recently to understand how your mind was working, how you were feeling. An absolute travesty that you’re gone…..
Much love to all, Debbie and Michael Neat xx
A wonderfully beautiful person gone to soon. A friend, a cousin and so much more.
Will miss you Clifford.
RIP.
Shine brightly for us all. ✨
A wonderfully beautiful person and cousin to us all, Clifford you will be missed greatly by all.
Shine brightly. RIP.
To Cliff’s family. I only had a brief encounter working with Cliff on The 1% Club, but he left such an impression on me as a funny, charming, kind, warm, decent man, and I’m so sad to learn of his loss. Much love to you all, I’ll always remember Cliff’s glorious laughter and sense of humour.
Dearest Murphy Family Friends,
Deepest sympathy to you all for this heartbreaking loss..
Thank goodness I had pleasure of knowing & working with Cliff. When I think of him I smile as I flick through my moments in time with him.
He was a true gem in this world, a beautiful human sadly taken too soon.
Take care all.
My heartfelt sympathies to Cliffy’s family for your loss. I worked with Cliff for many years on Masterchef Australia and he always had a hug and smile for me. He was sunshine in human form and had warmth and kindness in everything he did. I am glad we crossed paths when we did – he will always have a special place in my heart. My love to you all during this incredibly sad time. Sending you all the biggest, warmest Cliff-style cuddle xxx
