Witcliff was born and grew up in Jamaica. For 18 years, he worked as a police officer. Then, in Canada, he worked for 27 years as a correctional officer at the Calgary Remand Centre. In his work and in life, Witcliff was disciplined, preferred routine and punctuality. His softer side held reverence for God and people. He was well read, with a vast vocabulary. He was a philosopher and deep thinker who challenged his children and grandchildren to think their way out of predicaments. Witcliff was athletic. He did track and played cricket and even carried on playing into his older years. He had great interest in and was skilled at fixing all things electronic and mechanical – computers, stereos, appliances, cars. Witcliff attended Devry Institute of Technology and Cleveland Institute of Electronics earning certifications in Electronics Technology and Computer Software. He was often called upon by family and friends to fix things and was happy to oblige. Witcliff was a kind and loving soul who will be missed by so many.
