He graduated from Teaneck (N.J.) High School in 1943 and served in the Army during World War II in Europe. Upon his return, Cliff attended Lawrenceville, Princeton, and Columbia. Many of us remember his lively piano-playing at Reunions.

In 1951 he married Barbara Mannhardt, who died in 1974. He and Susan Conroy were married a year later. His business career included home-building in New Jersey in the early 1950s.

He died July 29, 2014, at the age of 88. Cliff is survived by Susan; children Stuart Heath, Gary Glaser, Steven Heath, Deborah Glaser Henry, Daniel Glaser, and Matthew Glaser; and 13 grandchildren.
