Dr. Claudson's wonderful photographs of the old SIUE Wagner Complex are on display at the renovated N.O. Nelson Campus of Lewis & Clark College.
It was a pleasure meeting him. He was absolutely fascinating to talk to. You could tell he had a great passion for photography and was immensely talented. My condolences on your loss.

From a former student-
My years at SIUE were a wonderful time - and Dr. Claudson was part of that memory. I am sure he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kathy,
Our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Kathrine, I know it was a long, hard road for you and Bill. My sincerest sympathies.

Kathy and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. I know he will be missed by so many. May God give you the comfort that you need at this time.

Kathy,
Both you and Bill shared your lives with me at a very special time in my life. I often wonder why people with such different backgrounds come together if only to share the joy of life along with the passing of loved ones. We wish you the warmth and peace that comes with the memory of the wonderful years you spent with Bill.

As one of Dr. Claudson's many former students, I am saddened to learn of his death. May our Heavenly Father comfort you in this time of grief.

Claudson Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always cherish Bill's memory and friendship and remember, with gratefulness, his tremendous contribution made to the choir and music program at First Presbyterian. What a privilege and inspiration it was to work with such a talented and professional musician. He was a dear friend and I will always remember the many wonderful experiences we shared.
