Roll of Honor
Biography
On 10/27/2023 our world changed – The silence was louder than the traffic in NYC. Cliff served as a Police Officer for the NYPD for 20 + years. Cliff loved his job and he loved his Blue Family; in fact, he loved it his entire tour of 20+ years at the 114 Precinct in Astoria, Queens. This is where he made friends, he was a mentor to some, and he trained many others, as well as taking on the responsibility of running and building up the gym in his free time. He wanted the men and women to have a great place to work out, train, and stay fit. The gym was his passion. Cliff enjoyed helping others learn to train correctly. He knew what was best; and if it was a rough day, it was a good day to work out. The 114 Pct named the gym after Cliff Lash in his honor. Cliff was a father, a brother, an uncle, a Godfather, and a true friend to those who had the pleasure of knowing him. He is missed beyond measure – when he left this earth, he took a piece of us with him but we know that there is now an angel that looks out for us from above. Cliff is alive in our hearts and we are thankful for every memory. We love you, Cliff.
