Very sad news Lee Lanager passed on October 15. You may remember him best as the fixture he was during the Clearfield County Fair in the art department. Many will remember him from the Clearfield Area School District where he worked for many years as a custodian. He was such a nice man and was always respectful and kind to everyone he met. https://www.legacy.com/obitu/theprogressnews/obituary.aspx
