Not sure what to say?

You were like a father to my uncle, David Davy Daniels. I wish I got to meet you, such a kind soul, beautiful music, God rest your soul My heartfelt condolences to Claudes family.

Condolences to loved ones. May fond memories and comfort from others bring solace to you.

I will never forget you and the great Wovertin Mountain popular in my senior year of HS. Brings back warm memories of a beautiful voice very under rated. RIP

My condolence to the King family on your loss. His music touched our family deeply in the 1960's. My uncles would sit with us children at the time and cover his songs. I particularly loved Wolverton Moutain, which I still play to this day. God bless him.

Duane and Family,

Your dad will always live on in all of our memories. His music and what he meant to our community is legendary. I am proud to have been your neighbor when we were growing up in the Woodlawn area. And your friend throughout life. Love to you and yours.

Barbara and Boys,
I wish I had known about Claude's passing as I would have been there with you. He was a great man and a wonderful friend to me. I will always treasure my memories of our times together in the studio, on the road, visiting him there, and our phone conversations.

God will give you the strength to get past this lost but you will never get over it as his memories live on in your hearts and minds. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Howard
