"Jerry" was born November 1, 1926 in La Mesa to Rene and Josephine McClain Fair. They moved to Lakeside in 1933. Jo's family, William and Winifred McClain, bought 40 acres in Lakeside in 1904 and built a house.  The McClain children now included Bill Jr., Elizabeth, Douglas and Josephine. The youngest son, George, was born 3 years later. The McClain family was an important part of Lakeside history.  Part of the original property was donated to the Presbyterian Church for the new church on Channel Road. After Rene's death, Jo married Ed Dupis, and they built a home on Topa Hill Circle in Lakeside.  Jerry lived in Oregon for 35 years and retired as a millwright.
   Jerry is survived by his second wife, Lucille Vance Fair. He leaves 4 children, 16 grandchildren, a step-daughter, Marilyn Lucille Owens, and a step-son Robert Miles Owens. 
   He died at his home September 2, 2005. Memorial Services were held Saturday, September 10, 2005 at 4:00 p.m. at the Bible Missionary Fellowship, 8836 Prospect Avenue in Santee.
