Claude had a warm, empathetic nature, a great sense of humor and was unfailingly gracious--the consumate gentlemen. I always looked forward to the time I spent with him as a caregiver. I'll miss him. Visiting Angel, Grace Jenkins

I admire Claude in that he never lost his sense of humor through it all. I will miss hearing him laugh. He had so much appreciation for the care given him...thanking us many times throughout the day for even the little things. I will miss him more than words can say.

I was a friend to Claude both in a business relationship and a personal friendship where we shared our favorite hobby, photography. I shall miss his friendship and company and will think of him often when I look through my viewfinder. Allow me to wish my deepest condolences.
