Clair was born October 23, 1926 to Argyle and Blanche (Flint) Omo in Jackson. Like many others of that era, Clair entered the U.S. Navy in 1943 and served during WWII.

Clair worked as the office manager at Midwest Foundry for many years, retiring in 1988 at the age of 62.

Clair was a man of faith, attending the Union Church of Quincy. At one time he was a member of the Mason's Lodge, the Shriner's, and the Quincy American Legion. Clair enjoyed going golfing and bowling. He liked traveling and kept track of many crew members that he served with on the USS LST 854. Clair will be remembered for his quick wit, always having a good joke ready. He was very outgoing and kept a positive outlook on life. Clair's true joy in life was being around his family, especially attending his grandchildren's events.
