Claude Steen Jr.

Dear Claude, David, James and Philip,

It was with a shock that I learnt of the demise of your father, Claude.

Claude was a true man of God. This observation comes from my association with him, on and off, over a period of 70 years, since I was a teenager in Gimbie.

I have seen him sacrifice material gains in favor of serving the Church. His kindness was enduring... his faith unwavering. I never saw him making any difference between the poor and the powerful. For me,...

also deliver many babies in Asheville, he deliver my 2 daughters and we all love him as a family Dr.

We became acquainted with Claude when we lived in Candler for 9 years mainly in the 90s. I found him a Christian gentleman and devoted to our church. At times he had me substitute as a Sabbath School teacher in his class. I'm glad to have known him.
Our sympathy to his survivors.

Dr Steen was our family doctor for my father-in-law, Pastor Oliver Lange, and a dear friend. We will miss him

Dear Family, We did not know your parents personally, but Dr. Steen was our doctor for many years and we were so impressed with him. He spent time with each patient talking and discerning the problem one was experiencing. He was so kind, concerned, and loving. I always thanked God for such a doctor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this bitter/sweet time but the precious thing is knowing your parent(s) will one day be with you again.

Dr. Steen and his lovely wife were delightful people. So caring, loving and giving of themselves. We met them in their later years and immediately loved them. They had that quality about them. Their son, Phillip, and his family are great examples of his parents love for others. May your hearts remain filled with the wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
