I am Thomas Meiskey, son of the late Meiskeys Austin and Catherine (Manheim, Pa.).
Clair (and Ester) was a welcome and entertaining visitor to our house from before the time I was born (1939) until my parents were gone.
I also have fond memories of Viola and Amber (her husband at the time).  I am grateful to have had these fine relatives.

So very sorry for your loss.  Mike and I enjoyed living across the street from Clair and Esther for a very long time.  They were fantasic neighbors.  They were always there with help when it was needed – including watching out for the girls in an emergency.  Clair was so friendly and loved his laugh and smile.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him.  Blessing to all of you.
