A resident of Lafayette, Louisiana for most of his life, Clifford "Pop" as he was affectionately known to his family, loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren dearly. He and his wife, the late Bonny Bell D. Foreman were married for 61 years. Pop worked for the Lafayette Parish School Board until retiring at the age of 55. Pop was a true Cajun and loved to sing and play the triangle, his favorite song was "The Bottle" (La Bouteille). During the daytime, you could find him in his garden or fishing with family and friends. Pop made a variety of homemade wines and cracklin which his wife would taste-test for approval. He was a charismatic man with a fun loving spirit, always dancing and playing cards with his wife and friends. Pallbearers will be Leonard "Bubba" Leger, Michael Storms, Kenneth Paul Leger, Jr., Patrick C. Trahan, James Meche, Jr., and Corey Bergeron. Honorary Pallbearers will be Matthew Paul Leger, Caleb Michael Leger, and Brennen Michael Storms. A heartfelt appreciation is extended by the Foreman family to Betty Trahan Alleman, a dear friend of Clifford who helped care for him over the past year and to the staff of St. Joseph's Hospice, especially Trisha for their compassion.
