I fondly remember Clair when I was a little girl and he worked across the street from my dad's restaurant the Windmill on Selkirk Ave. Clair use to tell me that my dad would ask him to take me to the store to get a pair of shoes and I would end up trying them all on, with Clair watching over me for hours. He was such a warm, kind man with a great sense of humor. Always had a great joke to tell you. My sincerest condolences to Judi, his family and friends. Angie, Eileen and the old gang from the Windmill. Give my dad a big hug for me Clair. - Posted by: Angela Damianakos (Friend) on: Oct 24, 2018

I cherished the time we spent together working at Superior Food Importers. Clair hired me in the late 70's and quickly became great friends. I was always amazed at the huge network of people he knew when out on sales calls or we'd run into while out for lunch. Clair was always dressed to the nines & took pride in his appearance which is an attribute he past on to me & his many business associates. That picture of a smiling Clair is an image that will stay with me & brings back fond memories of him. Rest in peace my friend! Al Jones, Ottawa - Posted by: Al Jones (friend) on: Oct 21, 2018

Clair and I were like brothers, we have been best friends for over 55 years. We lived and worked together while we were both 20yrs old.. ohh the stories!! I can still see him trying to outdraw Marshal Matt Dillon on every episode of Gunsmoke.. and his imitations of "Festus" or Grampa McCoy (Walter Brennan) were priceless. What a character and true pal he was to so many people. Judi, please accept our heartfelt condolences, with love Greg and Peggy Janz - Sherwood Park, Alberta - Posted by: Greg Janz (Long time Best Friend) on: Oct 20, 2018
