  10. Dear Aunt Lorraine, David, Deb and Mike
    Uncle Clair has always been such a large presence in my life and then in the lives of Steve, Amy and Nancy. He found humor in the day to day details of living and had the great gift of being able to pass that humor on to others causing us to many times collapse from laughter and the pure joy of being in the room with him listening to his stories … he takes a lot of history with him but leaves behind for me the knowledge that no good story should be overly cluttered with facts. I hope he’s with his sisters and that the tea kettle is on.

  11. Lorraine and family:Very sorry to hear about Clair.Sincere sympathy is extended tto you and allyour family.

  59. Dear Great Aunt Lorraine, Uncle Mike, Debbie, and family,

    I’m so sorry about the loss of Uncle Claire. I’ve always been honoured to have my middle name named after him.
    He’s a huge part of my memory of happy times in Summerville, especially him and Gram Amy sitting in the kitchen next to the wood stove of our old house which Uncle Mike now owns.

    I’m sure a big part of my love of animals, and especially bovines like antelope, oxen, etc. comes from Uncle Clair’s love of them. It was wonderful seeing the images of him and his teams on the memorial video.

    I hope you all can take comfort in your own happy memories and that Uncle Clair looms so large in the happy memories of so many others.

    I’m thinking of all of you,
    -Nancy

  60. To the family of the late Aubrey “Clair” Hupman.

    Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

  62. To Aunt Lorraine and the extended family –
    One of my fondest memories of Uncle Clair is going through the yard and garden with him, having him tell me what all the plants were. Then, there was the time where I got to help load up and bring in the hay with the oxen team. I can remember cars stopping to take pictures because it wasn’t done that way anymore. I also remember how much Uncle Clair loved his dogs and cats and his gentleness with them. And the stories! Oh, how much fun it was to sit in the living room and listen to the stories. The best stories were the ones that involved mischief and a surprising number of them involved dynamite.
    **sigh**
    He will be missed so very much.
    Brett and I send our love to all.

  63. Our condolences to Lorraine, Debbie, Dave, Trent, and their families.

    I will always remember the steer that Clair used to have across the street. He was the only person I actually remember that had steer.

    Brad and I hope that you will have some peace knowing that Clair is now at peace.

    Thinking of you at this difficult time….

    Terri and Brad
