A friend and I were doing a Google search of our childhood friends and I learned Cliff had died. We were close friends in Parkchester in the Bronx. I recall that Cliff- named after the playwright Clifford Odetts had access to his apartment in Manhattan where we occasionally had parties. He was a lovely kind friend of my youth. I feel deeply sad thinking about him. My very belated condolences to his family. Sylvia Rabiner
Today [9/22/21] I was doing an internet search for several old USAF friends and found Cliff's obituary. We were lieutenants together MANY years ago at Topsham AFS in Maine. Lost track of a lot of the old Topsham crew over the years. I'll pass on word of his passing to the other Topsham types I've kept in touch with. My condolences to the family.

Keith, I am so sorry to learn of your father's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

Cliffy and the rest of us were adolescents together in Parkchester. At that age the rest of us all had some kind of made up persona, tough, cynical, intellectual, anti-intellectual, whatever. Cliffy never needed a pose. He was nice. As a teenager he was the same nice, decent, open, Cliff Kobland others got to know as an adult. He was also extremely cute as a kid. I'll miss him.

Sending hugs and prayer to the Kobland family, may you find peace and comfort in these times of unrest.

To Barbara and the rest of the Kobland family,
Ann and I were saddened to hear of Cliff's passing. Pat had the pleasure of getting to know him through fantasy hockey leagues. We thank both of you for coming to Buffalo to help us celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary 20 years ago. We will remember Cliff fondly when we attend the races and will win a few for him. We both will pray for you and your extended family and know that we will forever hold you in our thoughts. Stay safe.
Love,
Ann and Pat "Boxcar" Bogucki
