Having recently battled many health complications; Clifford Tuesday, age 60, of Anishinaabeg of Naongashiing, passed away on Tuesday May 31, 2011 at the LaVerendrye General Hospital surrounded by family.

His work over the years involved pulp cutting, guiding for many of the local resorts, trapping with a special elder, working for local fishery, operating a guide service and managing Cedar Island Resort for Big Island. Clifford worked hard at the jobs he had; he retired from his last employment position as Education Counselor for Big Island.

In 1982 Clifford had the privilege of coaching a boy's baseball team. He was very proud of this special opportunity. His athletic history includes playing hockey, baseball, waterskiing, downhill skiing, swimming, diving, lacrosse and volleyball. Clifford loved to fish. He was also a hunter. His knowledge and wisdom acquired from elders and other sources was shared with friends and family in numerous ways.
