To the Knarr Family,
Clair was a quite, unassuming
person who would lend a hand to anyone's need. He fought a difficult battle to stay with us as long as he could. His
job here on Earth was done with grace, dignity and respect. We will all miss him but we will never forget him...........he
was a great neighbor and much loved Grandpappy.
Rest easy my friend!
