Clifford H. Green, 95, of Halma Minnesota passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday February 19, 2022.

Clifford Green was born on November 14, 1926 to Randolph and Ida (Belle) Green in Canada. At the age of 4 his family moved to McKenize county North Dakota. Cliff served in Japan and the states for the US Army at the end of World War II from 1945 to 1947.

Cliff was united in marriage to Ruth Fitzgerald in Cavalier, North Dakota. Cliff and Ruth embarked on many travels with his work in the oil field including working in Alaska for Kodiak Oilfield haulers advancing to truck superintendent.

In 1972 Cliff and Ruth purchased their farm in Halma, MN. They ran a dairy farm until Cliff retired from the oil fields and then transitioned to raising beef cattle.

Cliff enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. To them it was like winning the lottery to spend a weekend at the farm with Grandma and Grandpa. Cliff enjoyed his daily trips to KK and conversations with friends over coffee. Other than family, farming was his passion and dream come true.
