I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Claus. He and his wife were such dear friends in Denver. Such a charming and interesting gentleman. God bless his kind heart.

Wish we spoke often, as I still recall some of your friends that I wrote to from the Denver & Phoenix area. I wish you were still here, as I wanted to ask you some more about Mile High Stadium, and if you built any others. My prayers are with you. Maurice

My Dearest Uncle Claus,
I thank God in heaven for the gift to look into your eyes and tell you I love you before your time of leaving this earth. I saw your beautiful response, your expression of love full in your eyes as you looked back into mine. You know your family was here for you and you know we all love you so very much. Your sisters Gertrud (Sternberg) Doss and Rasi Sternberg remain on earth broken hearted, praying for you, as do your many nieces and nephews; but we all know you are happy to be back in your mothers and fathers arms, with your twin brother Georg, with your older sister Maria, your big brothers Paul and Josef. You loved life and lived life to the fullest! And as your great nephew, Michael Alexander Doss said..." My Uncle Claus did more in his life time than most men would be able to do in two". Surely Our Lord has recruited a fine, strong and beautiful angel to grace the skies of heaven. You will be greatly missed but never ever forgotten. All my love, 'My favorite Uncle' Uncle Claus! Love, "your favorite niece'', Rebecca Maria Doss
