Dear Adairs: I send my condolences to all of "Uncle Clair's" family. He is at peace with his brother (my grandpa) Jim, and his other family members now. I will remember Clair from when I was young, smiling, laughing and talking with his brothers. My deepest sympathies, Love, Lisa Adair

Dear Adair Family,

I remember "Grandpap" very clearly as a child, picking tomatoes and strawberries behind my grandparents house as well as him telling silly jokes making fun of Emily and I. He was a great man, and he will be missed by all who knew him. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Love,
Elizabeth

Your dad and my dad were good friends for many years, both on and off the railroad. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. I remember him as a gentle man with a very kind and loving smile. You have my sympathy.

Whoever wrote the obit for your dad did a wonderful job. I barely knew him, but now I feel very close to him. This is a wonderful tribute to his life, and you are so fortunate to have had him as a dad.

Emily and Susan~

I know what a smile your grandpap and father put on your faces, and how you light up when you talk about him. May he now shine down on you from above with your grandma and mom, and be your guide from above. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
