Passed away peacefully at home from cancer on January 25, 2026.
Cliff had a presence that filled every room he entered, whether it was a classroom, a negotiation table, a hearing room, or his seat at the opera. He brought curiosity, conviction, and a love of spirited conversation wherever he went.
Cliff loved to travel and would often reminisce about his experiences in France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and beyond. He took great pleasure in watching curling, baseball, and football - always cheering on his beloved Blue Jays and Buffalo Bills.
Cliff is survived by his partner, Gloria Moyer; his sons Craig Berry (m. Lora, dec.) and Alan Berry (m. Victoria); and his stepchildren LeeAnne McCallum, Leslie McCallum (m. Bruce), and David McCallum (m. Natalie). He is also survived by his brother Howard (m. Heather), and is preceded in death by his beloved late wife Joanne McCallum (d. 2011). He is also survived by his ex-wife, Patricia Berry.
Cliff was the treasured grandfather of Mackenzie, Chloe, Spencer, Sydney, Devin, Olivia, Daniel, Erika, Anna, and Nathan, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy.
The family wishes to recognize with gratitude the love and support of Gloria’s family – daughters Corrie (m. William) and Shannon (m. Matthew), and their children Carly-James, Finley, and Fia.
His spirit, his conversation, and his quiet, steady love will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
