CLAWSON The “little city with a big heart” likely will not forget Howie Airriess, who made a big impact on the 2.2-square-mile city of Clawson, Michigan.
Airriess, a lifelong resident, was the son of the first female mayor of Clawson, Mary Airriess; the founder of the Down on Main Street charity car show; and a “force” who could smooth over most moments with a well-intentioned text or a bit of humor.
