Clifford Harold Carver, age 78, of Bernville, Pennsylvania passed away on<\/p>\n
July 21, 2025 after a battle with cancer. Known to friends and family as Fordy, he<\/p>\n
was born on November 10, 1946, in New York City to Clifford Maxwell Carver and<\/p>\n
Madeline Smith Carver. Fordy is survived by his sons, Peter Carver (Beth Jensen)<\/p>\n

He grew up on Long Island, attending Faye School and Glen Cove High<\/p>\n
School, before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps. He received the Purple Heart<\/p>\n
while serving during the Vietnam War. After his service, he went on to study at the<\/p>\n
University of Denver and later earned a master\u2019s degree in criminal justice from<\/p>\n
Villanova University. After college, Fordy joined the family business, Baker, Carver<\/p>\n

an avid horseman, president of the Riders of the Wissahickon while living in<\/p>\n
Philadelphia, and a volunteer with Middle Creek Search and Rescue for more than<\/p>\n
30 years \u2014 always riding alongside his cherished labradors. He found joy in fox<\/p>\n
hunts, paper chases, and kayaking, never without a loyal dog by his side.<\/p>\n
