Grandson of Adolphus Wemigwans and Esther Animikwan
and Sarah and Jacob Bondy (all predeceased).
Also lovingly remembered by many nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
In his younger years in Wiikwemkoong, he loved playing hockey on his outdoor rink to his hometown arena and many other local rinks for exciting minor hockey championship games.
It finally led him to later excel into the Air Canada AAA Midget Championships held in Ottawa in 1987, playing for the Sudbury Burgess Power Train. He was very well known in the hockey rinks in his younger years, most especially for his sportsmanship, play-making and skating skills, (hipcheck geh!!); his greatest passion of hockey and teaching his sons his skills. “Always remember; an assist is just as good as a goal” Cliffy had a good sense of humour, he was also a quiet and gentle person always willing to lend a helping hand. As one of his nephews stated, “you never knew where he was gonna show up and always had a funny story to tell, just to make you laugh.” Cliffy liked working with his hands and worked in carpentry with Wikwemikong Housing and later with Jimmy Assinewai-baa, his side-kick buddy whom he is joining up above, doing jobs around the community and surrounding area. His favorite hobbies included watching Sports Highlights and Bloopers with his boys and watching home renovation shows, the Food Network and can’t forget his favourite hockey team, the “Toronto Maple Leafs”.
