It was always fun to play bridge with Clair.  He will be missed.

I liked playing bridge with Clair.  He was very consistent in his play and very accepting of all my mistakes. He helped me to be more accepting of others when they messed up.  When he slowed down before Covid, he kept his good sense of humor and modeled aging gracefully.

He will be missed - A gentleman at the Bridge table even when others occasionally were not.

Grandpa Styve was a great man, had a lot of patience, anyways made sure everyone was included, and always made sure to spend as much time as possible with his family.

Very powerful display of respect at the cemetery today.  Overwhelming emotions; so intense I couldn't speak.
