Aaron Dana 'Red' Clary (April 11, 1917 - June 16, 2001) was an American artist and engineer. Born in Quincy, California, Clary spent his early childhood in the mountains of California and Oregon, where he father Merl E. Clary worked in the logging industry. His family moved to Los Angeles in the early 1920s where his father worked with family in the nascent movie industry. Clary graduated from high school in the mid-1930s and soon began taking art classes. Besides his considerable interest in and talent for art and drawing, Clary perhaps studied art because of his father's work in the movie industry. He worked in Kingsburg as a Recreation Leader in the summer of 1940, where he met his wife Orvilla, whom he married on October 25, 1941, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The couple moved to Los Angeles in 1942 where Clary found a job working for Lockheed. In 1945 the couple moved to Fresno and Clary took a job with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company and an electrical engineer and spent the next thirty four years working there. He retired in October 1981, and he and Orvilla moved to Willits, on the Pacific Coast. They lived there until Orvilla passed away on December 12, 1987. Following Orvilla's death, Clary moved back to Fresno to be closer to family and friends. Aaron and Orvilla had two sons, along with a third Orvilla had from a previous marriage.
