"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." Psalm 100:4
Robert G. Claar, 60, went home to be with the Lord on Monday afternoon at Altoona Center for Nursing Care due to a pulmonary embolism.
He was born in Altoona, son of the late Homer A. and Frances J. (Lickel) Claar. He married Sandra J. Hazlett in 1976.

Dalton and Lacey "Jane" Flanagan; two sisters: Judy A. Miller of Hagerstown, Md., and Diane Lambe of Woodbury Pike; and two brothers: Richard A. and Timothy D. (Michelle), both of Altoona.
He was preceded in death by a sister, Bonnie L. (Donald L.) Snyder.

Romans 12: 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
