Obituary: Leslie Clair Swink of Prineville and Salem, died in Portland on 15. Born 21, 1921 in New Sharon, Iowa, Clair migrated to Oregon in 1940.

Clairs greatest adventure began in 1942. reaching his 21st birthday and quickly being selected by his friends and neighbors (i.e., drafted), he left his wartime job at a munitions plant in Des Moines, Iowa, and proposed marriage to his blond, green-eyed high school sweetheart, Anna May Leydens. drove 2,000 miles nonstop to Oregon to marry before Clair reported for duty at Fort Lewis, WA. In the Army, Clair was a medic assigned to the 43rd General Hospital, treating Allied soldiers and German and Italian prisoners of war across North Africa, Italy and France.

the War, Clair worked for the State of Oregon 34 years, retiring in the 1980s. An administrator in the states printing division, he was proud that he lost only three days to illness throughout his career.

An active church leader, Clair was a founder of Salems Middle Grove community church and a trustee of Western Evangelical Seminary. His faith played a central role in his life, and he and his wife were strong supporters of Christian service organizations, giving generously of their time and resources.

Clair was a gifted athlete and loved sports - any sport! He starred on his high school teams as a football halfback, basketball point guard, baseball catcher and track sprinter and was awarded a football scholarship to William Penn . Clair played competitive softball into his mid-60s, and tried golf for the first time upon retirement. Over his first summer of active play, he achieved a twelve stroke handicap.

Clair came from a musical family and enjoyed a lifelong involvement in music. As a baritone vocal soloist, he performed frequently in churches and at community events.

Leadership in a Salem based hiking club, The Chemeketans, provided an outlet for Clairs love of the outdoors, as well as his considerable social skills. He and Anna both made friends easily, and Clair enjoyed organizing the entertainment for nightly campfire gatherings during annual Chemeketan camping trips.

Another more recent migration in Clairs life was his move to Prineville in central Oregon. With views of the Crooked River Valley and the Cascade mountains, he figured he had found the perfect spot for retirement.

Clair moved to Portland in 2006, when his failing memory made it unsafe for him to live alone. Despite his advancing dementia, Clair retained his gracious personality and playful sense of humor until his death from a heart attack on 15.

Clair was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 61 years, Anna May Leydens Swink and his older brother Max Swink. He is survived by his daughter Leslie Lehmann (Portland) and his identical twin sons Mark Swink (San Francisco) and Michael Swink (Vancouver, WA). He took great delight in his grandchildren Peter Lehmann (Portland), Morgan Worth (Menlo Park, CA), and Braum and Kiel Swink (Portland). Clairs recent years were blessed by two great granddaughters, Isabella Clair and Alexis Rose Lehmann who loved their Boppa.

Services in celebration of Clairs life are scheduled for , 17, 2:30 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1624 N.E. Hancock, Portland, Oregon. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to World Vision or to the Alzheimers Association.
