John St. Clair, 69, of Aurora, passed away February 11, 2020, at Season's Hospice in Naperville. Born December 16, 1950 in Aurora, he was the son of James Wyatt and Grace (Ahasic) St. Clair.
John was a member of the Aurora Noon Lions Club for 33 years and served as past president. His interest included computers, photography, motor cycling, scuba diving, ice diving, snow skiing, and flying. His greatest passion was being a pilot. He is most proud of his volunteer work with Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA Chapter 579) Young Eagles program that offers free flights in a light plane for 9 to 16 year olds who are interested in flying. He established a scholarship program, the John St. Clair Aviation Scholarship Fund, to award to several young students who ultimately earn their pilots license.
He is survived by his brothers, James (Linda) St. Clair of West Chester, PA., Ralph (Lorraine) St. Clair of Pittsburgh, PA., and Robert St. Clair of Sugar Grove, IL.
John was preceded in death by his parents, James and Grace.
