Claud, I looked up to you, and I never told you so. You were an inspiration to me when I was just a kid goofing around Birmingham- you had so many friends, a great job, a nice home, a fun personality - a future. I always enjoyed running into you and hanging out at your place. I am so sad that our paths never crossed again after I moved from Birmingham. My heart goes out to your family and friends.

I would like to say that Claude was a very caring man. He would help anyone. When he came to Crestwood Park, he made the park a better place. With all his love and understanding, he made a difference in so many people. Mr. Cotten will be well missed.

Claud was a very wonderful person and blessed many children and families in the community. I have known Claud for only a few years. But the short period of time that I have known him, he has inspired me. Claud, you will be truly missed.

I have known Claud for a few months, but within that time he has only displayed LOVE and CARING for the Wahouma Family. He will truly be missed.
