Claude was a delight to work with in the engineering community we shared at the company. He was adept in his knowledge, with a gentle demeanor and a willingness to share his thoughts. Always the gentleman, he was a good man and a true professional. He will be missed.

Mr. Hanbury was a gentleman, a knowledgeable Switching Engineer, and he helped this Special Clerk by sharing his knowledge and teaching me by gentle constructive criticism. I admired and respected him so much. I am saddened by the loss of such an esteemed colleague. Claude was a good man, clean and professionally attired and he always smelled so good! I am proud to have been a part of the Bo Dale organization and to have known Mr. Hanbury. And until we meet again "May Our Heavenly Father hold you in the palm of his hand."
