He was first employed by Pennsylvania House, then had his own business, "Clair's Wood & Metal" in Swengel. Before retiring, Clair was also employed at Quandel Construction. He retired as a life member of the Carpenters Union and was highly skilled in the trade.

He was a proud member of Mifflinburg Masonic Lodge #370, 50-year member of Royal Arch, Scottish Rite and The Shriners, and the FFA.
