My sincere condolences to the family.

Our prayers are with you all!! Claude was a wonderful man!! We enjoyed the times we had together!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God Bless You

Miller, I´m so sorry for your loss. You took after your father with your years of service to so many. Thoughts and prayers for your family.

I had the good fortune to be a first year Resident at UAB with Dr. Bennett as our Attending Physician. What I remember best was his sincere kindness and empathy toward the hospitalized patients. He was also a wonderful teacher at the bedside for Physicians in training. Please accept our sincere condolences for your great loss.
