| Notes |
- ATWOOD (Rockford) - Mr. Clifford Atwood, age 79, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 4, 2003. Cliff was a member of Rockford Baptist Church, where he accepted Christ as his Savior in the early 60's and served there as Elder, Deacon, and an Awana Leader. For 13 years he worked for the Grand Rapids Police Department. Following retirement from the department, he bought the Sunoco Station at Fremont and Division Streets in Rockford and ran that from 1963-1976. For a while he ran the station and also worked for the Kent County Sheriff's Department, retiring from the department as Sgt in charge of road patrol. Cliff was a perfectionist when working with wood products and enjoyed remodeling and repair work. He was also an avid hunter, camper and fisherman. His family remembers Cliff modeling his life by Ephesians 5: 25. He is survived by his wife, Lillian (Dunn), who was his high school sweetheart and married her on June 21, 1944. Also surviving are his children, Dennis and Robin Atwood of Greenville, Gary and Nida Atwood of Rockford, Kathy and Ed Payton of Morley, Tim and Toni Atwood of Pierson and Doug and Sue Atwood of Howard City; 15 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; sister, Mrs. Byrdie Sarkees of Grand Rapids; sister- in-law, Mrs. Grace Atwood of Grand Rapids; nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death was his daughter, Terrill Louise Atwood, grandchildren, Timothy Dale Atwood, Anthony Roy Atwood and Dennis Michael Atwood, his parents and his step-mother, Mrs. Millie Atwood. The service of Praise and Thanksgiving to God for the Salvation provided through Jesus Christ for Cliff will be Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock at Rockford Baptist Church with Pastor Larry Rowland officiating. Interment in Rockford Cemetery. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider Rockford Baptist Church, Michigan SIDS Alliance or the Rockford Historical Museum. Relatives and friends may celebrate Cliff's life with his family from 7-9PM Saturday and 2-4 and 7-9PM Sunday at the funeral home. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25 The Pederson Funeral Home, Rockford
