Cliff Kimble

Cliff “Buford” Kimble, born November 29, 1946 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, grew up in Plainwell, Michigan, Gunplains Township. Graduating from Plainwell High School in 1964, he lived in the Plainwell area until 1971. Leaving Michigan with only the nickname “Buford,” he traveled west and made his home in Denver, Colorado. As an avid outdoorsman all his life, his primary hobbies are hunting, fishing, hiking and camping. In 1974 he discovered Rugby and fell in love with the game. He played, coached, and refereed for more than 30 years. He is still involved in the Rugby community in the Denver area. In 1976 while on a Rugby tour in Wales, he met his lovely “taffy” wife, Annette. Buford and his wife Annette now reside in Aurora, Colorado.
