He was born in 
Akron, Ohio, and 
made his way to Columbus, 
where he first started his career

they finally settled in Michigan. 
Greg was happiest with a rac-

his passion while also dabbling 
in squash, paddle and pickle ball. 
It was on the court that he made 
so many friends, who, along with 
their families, gave Greg, Jen and 
Ethan a loving and supportive 
community. Greg loved his fam-
ily dearly and was a friend to 
anyone who crossed his path. He 
never missed an opportunity to 
say how grateful he was for this 
beautiful life.
Greg is survived by his wife 
of 16 years, Jennifer Cliff; son, 
Ethan Cliff; sister and broth-
er-in-law, Jessie and Bill Lane; 
father-in-law, Randall Weil; 
many loving nieces, nephews 
and a world of friends.
Mr. Cliff was the devoted son 
of the late Betty and the late 
Willard Cliff; adored son-in-law 
of the late Carol “Sparky” Weil.
