I will sure miss your wave and smile from your back porch! I always said I knew it was spring when Clair put his garden in. You remembered my dad and would mention him to me, often, and how he called me "Little Girl". You kindness and gentle manner will be much missed!

With great sadness and a heavy heart I will say what a Great Man Clair was, I have known him many year's and it was such a pleasure to see and talk with him. The world has lost a Great Man and Heaven has gained a new Angel. God Bless Dorothy and His Grandchildren.
