Our beloved father, brother, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home in Washington, UT on September 6, 2020. He was born on March 4, 1931 in Salt Lake City to David Russell and Genevieve Nuttall Creer, where Clare enjoyed a wonderful childhood and life.

Clare married Maurine Williams Selander Creer on December 1, 1961. Clare had many careers before finally retiring from Hill Air Force Base in Layton, UT. Clare always looked forward to going hunting with his father and brothers. Clare loved to go golfing with his friends and family, referee church and High school basketball games. Later in life Clare enjoyed playing in the Huntsman Senior Games in St. George with his baseball buddies.
He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Dad was a positive, friendly, and fun man and moved with a purpose. He always had things to do, places to go, and people to meet. We will all miss him dearly, we love you dad.
