Claude was one of the finest men I ever met. He was my friend and he never led me wrong. Claude went out of his his way to help me many times. He was a gentleman. You didn't have to look for Claude. He could always be found at his business, busy.

The only thing we ever disagreeded on was price :)

I will miss him as will all. Just knowing he was there was a great comfort.

We wish to express our deepest sympathy.

Mr. Claude was a friend and businessman to me. I could always put confidence in what he told me business wise. He will be greatly missed among fellow Elbertonians. I pray his family wil look to God for comfort and peace.

Mr. Claude Ray was a man of highest integrity. He was an inspiration by his example of hard work, fairness and kindness to literally thousands of people he knew during his life. I knew Mr. Claude for over 20 years...and knew him well for almost as long. I was proud to call him my friend and will never forget him. The love he had for his family is unmatched. We will miss him but his legacy lives on in all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Mr. Claude was one of the finest men I had ever met. He was always there with a friendly smile. The family will be in my thoughts on such a sad day.

Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the family. Claude was an institution in Elberton and his work, community spirit, and most of all his family, will be his lasting legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
