    Clifford William Mahood, of Newburgh, NY, a lifelong resident of the area and Executive Regional Sales Manager for Kinray in Whitestone, NY, was welcomed into Heaven into the arms of his mother and mother in law on August 13, 2015. The son of the late Clifford Alexander and Helen (Cables) Mahood, he was born in Cornwall NY. Cliff enjoyed his many travels around the globe, especially to Ireland. He was very proud of his Irish Heritage and passed down information of the Mahood name to his children and grandchildren. What Cliff loved most, however, was sitting and relaxing, talking and visiting with family and friends. His dynamic personality was evident upon your first meeting with him, making him friends wherever he travelled. His family and friends were extremely important to him. He was compassionate and selfless, always putting others first, the perfect gentleman, top notch all the way. We all knew that at any time he would be standing with us in good times or in times of need, we never had to ask. He was our “rock”, his inner strength of which we could always draw upon, making us stronger in return. He was first class from start to finish, his poise and dignity never wavered even during times of extreme hardship. He has taught us much, and we will always have his life lessons to draw upon. We all know that even in his absence we will still feel his strength and support in our lives. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Survivors include his loving wife Helen, who was always by his side; Daughter, Susan Benedict, Son-in Law Duane Benedict of Newburgh; Son, Michael Mahood, Daughter-in-law Joan Mahood of Wallkill; Daughter, Lori Miller of New Windsor; Daughter-Lynn Kirk, Son-in-Law Jerry Kirk of New Paltz; Sisters: Patricia Scott & Sharon Mahood of Fla., Ginny Eckert and brother in law John Eckert of Newburgh, Elizabeth MacNear of Newburgh, brother-in-law Lee VanNess of Fla.; Grandchildren: Dillon & Dustin Benedict, Matthew Clifford Mahood and Ian Joseph Kirk; Nieces & Nephews: Nadine Ramos and husband Mike, Colleen Eckert and companion Billy Gonzalez , Janice Medley and husband Karl, Stanley MacNear and wife Renee, Eileen Spindler and husband Phil, Robert Scott Jr., Tammy Pierce, Michael VanNess, Jennifer Tokarzewski and husband Dennis, Jamie McLymore & husband Mike, Kacie Soto and husband Dan, and Good Friends: Joe Sferrino, Damien Brady, John & Jane Murphy, Joan and Ed Polkowski, Mary and Jim Droney and Keith Melara. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his sister Irene VanNess, Mother and Father in Law Vincent and Louise Guariglia, Mother-in-Law Helen Hammond, Brothers-in-Law Robert Scott & Stanley MacNear, and niece Susan McMahon. The family would like to thank the staff at Kaplan Family Hospice for their excellent care and compassion during this most difficult time. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Kaplan Family Hospice, 1 Sunrise Lane, Newburgh, NY 12550. Funeral were private.
