So sorry to hear of Clair's passing I worked with Clair
when I was teaching at Stevens. We would often sit in the "boiler room" and chat. Always a joy. He gave me many
a ride from Stevens up to the IHS to meet my wife after her work day. I always called him the "Mayor of Plainfield"
and it caught on with the kids. He was a joy to know...positive, happy, and going about his day the way we all should have.
So sorry.
