I practiced for years before Judge Bray. He was always a perfect gentleman and expected no more or less from the lawyers in his courtroom. He set a good example for all of us. Judge Bray is missed.

My Mom, who passed away, 2 YRS ago, next month, thought so highly of Claude, as did my family. My Dad is 92, with Dementia. We live in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl, & I help care for him...Claude, was so kind to my family, & out deepest sympathy to the family of this wonderful, kind man....Sincerely: James Elwell Pam Rowell Battistella RN & Jayne Elwell
