Claire was my roommate at Kansas University.  He was very friendly and intelligent.  He was very motivated and ambitious to get a degree in chemistry.  He was a joy to know.

I met Clair during our Transformer Committee meetings.  Clair was always
helpful and supportive-not only as a scientist but as friend.  I am so sorry
to hear of his passing.  My condolences to his family.

My condolences to Clair's family and friends.  I was a colleague of Clair's and would meet a various technical meetings throughout the year.  We would be a resource for each other.  Clair was an excellent materials scientist with a complete knowledge few had of the integrated insulation system  of transformers.  Clair was great to work with because besides being knowledgeable he was also a very nice person.  Easy to speak with and spend time with.  He will be missed by all that knew him. 

I got to know Clair in the mid 1980s through our mutual participation in the ASTM D27 committee.  His encyclopedic knowledge of all things transformer materials and insulating liquids significantly advanced my knowledge in our industry and he was willing to share his valuable wisdom with all those that asked.  I considered him a mentor, colleague and friend.  He treated everyone kindness and with great respect.  He was a true gentlemen and he will be sorely missed and I will miss him deeply.  My love goes out to Pat and the families.

I attended school with Clair in Coyville Kansas. 

     We met Clair many years ago when he married my husband’s almost cousin.  They were living in Sharon, PA at the time.  We were always in awe of his intelligence and he and Pat made the perfect couple.  Although we have not seen them as often since  they moved, we have remained close friends.  He will be missed by many, and we pray that Pat will find comfort knowing that Clair is now at peace.

I first met Clair when I started working at ABB in 2001.  He and TV Oommen trained me in working with insulating liquids and helped me transition into the industry.  This began a long relationship with Clair as my mentor, colleague and friend.  Over the years we worked together serving on committees in IEEE, ASTM, Cigre' and IEC, and collaborated on many projects and publications.  I got to know Pat through some of these meetings and was able to introduce her to my wife at a meeting in San Antonio,
With all of our travels around the world we enjoyed each others company and I learned all about celiac disease.  Clair was truly a gifted scientist and he will be sorely missed.  Rest in peace my friend.

We have been friends of Clair and his wife Pat for decades.  We were the reason these two souls found each other. We are so saddened to hear of his passing but so happy to have been his friend for so long. We have many happy memories of Clair. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Pat. Love you and pray you find joy in the happy memories too.

Our condolences to Patricia and Clair's family.  I was introduced to Clair just about 13 years ago.  Seems these years go by so quickly.   I will miss his calm and methodical approach to dealing with any task or question on hand. He quietly absorbed everything around him. 

My most heartfelt condolences to Pat and all of Clair's family and friends. As a colleague in the electrical power materials industry, Clair and I participated in numerous technical and standards meetings. As a fellow celiac, we  shared many gluten free meals, often with our wives, wherever the industry meetings took us worldwide. Highly respected in our industry, many current and future materials researchers will be standing on his shoulders for years to come. I and my colleagues will miss his quiet, kind & thoughtful personality.
