The Hastings Review, August 2007


Clair Green, age 88, of Lake Odessa, passed away on Sunday afternoon, August 
26, 2007.  

He is survived by his daughter, Brenda (David) Chase; grandchildren, Regan 
(Alice) Chase, Michelle (A.J.) Predum, Beth Chase, Nancy (David) Bulling, and 
Amy (Patrick) Jemison; as well as many great-grandchildren and great-great-
grandchildren.  Clair is also survived by two brothers, Lyle Green and Tom 
Green; sister, Betty Segur; and son-in-law, Robert (Kath) Chase.

Clair was preceded in death by his first wife, June Green; daughter, Sandra 
Chase; and wife, Frances (Rairigh/Catt) Green, with whom he had numerous step-
grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.  Also preceding Clair in death 
were five brothers, Russell, Richard, Paul, Wayne and Howard Green; as well as 
two sisters, Velma VanSickle and Esther Allen.

Clair spent time serving in the military in his earlier years with the U.S. 
Army Air Force, and was stationed at Bryan, Texas.  During the final stretch 
of WWII, Clair and seven of his brothers were all serving in various branches 
of the military at the same time.  Only one other family in the United States 
had more family members serving at the same time than the Green family.

Following his military service, Clair went to work at Lake Odessa Machine 
Products, and later worked at Keeler Brass in Lake Odessa until the time of 
his retirement.  Clair enjoyed spending most of his years living on Jordan 
Lake where he spent many hours fishing.  He also enjoyed bowling and was a 
league member in Lake Odessa for many, many years.

The funeral service was held at the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa on 
Wednesday, August 29, 2007.  Burial with military honors followed at Lakeside 
Cemetery.  The family has suggested that memorial contributions may be made to 
Barry Community Hospice.
