He was a long time member and Head Usher for Simply Grace Church. Cliff was the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back and the last dollar from his pocket. He was always there if you needed him, and he never knew a stranger. He had a kind, loving heart and always had a smile on his face. He loved to joke around with everyone. In every sense of the word, he was a true family man. He loved his family with all his heart and soul, and was very proud of his children and grandsons. In addition to his wife, Wendy Jean Carnes Cosgrove of 38 years, he is survived by his daughter, Amanda Marie Cosgrove Bruce (husband, Russel); his son, C. Matthew Cosgrove (wife, Angela); and his son, Dustin Bain Cosgrove.
