Not sure what to say?

Mr. Clapham was very talented in the piano studio. He was a true teacher, arranger, composer, player. He was so talented. Besides, he was a comedian. I would like to hear from all of Mr. Clapham's piano students! (Mr. C. did mention the name of a student, Larry LeBlanc, who was a top student). Piano students please get in touch, share your Mr. Clapham and piano study stories. Ann Gahagan

Memories of your laughter and humor stay with us like an eternal smile. The joy you shared made our lives richer...We miss you!

"Grandpa C"- I only met him one time,but he made a lasting impression. The way he laughed before he took a picture had everyone in stitches. I only wish I could have gotten to know him better. I know from just the stories,that he was a very special man and very loved. I'm sure he will be missed by so many. He was a light in this world. God bless your family. Love,Sharon Graham

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I first met Lee and Marge at one of Bobby & Kim Baldwin's parties. I always looked forward to seeing them. Lee tickled your funny bone with his many jokes and tales to tell. I always admired how he could remember them all. He had everyone rolling on the floor. Lee gave me some guitar lessons and taught me so much. He will be greatly missed. He was a very special and caring man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry and sad to learn that Mr. Clapham has passed away. Having just lost my mom in June of this year, I know what the family is going through. Mr. Clapham was a wonderful friend, teacher and human being. He taught piano lessons to both me and my daughter (recitals and all!) Each Christmas I eagerly awaited my annual dose of humor in the form of a cassette tape with jokes on it that came in his Christmas card. Although it's been a while since I've seen him, he will remain in my...

From another "surrogate" child who was continually "tickled" by Dad's humor: I'll always remember my piano lesson and thanks for sharing your prune whip.

Mr. Clapham was my piano teacher in the 1960s....first at the music studio and then in his home. He also taught my brother Mickey..he was truly a wonderful teacher with such patience and kindness, but also a wonderful human being..i considered him a father figure that I could depend on..I am so sorry for your loss...
