Claude was a gentle giant who touched everyone he met. He made a difference in so many lives. Choosing to honor veterans and how they served their country. He was passionate about making things better and helping others., He has left an incredible legacy and Delaware County was blessed to have you as a resident. Your incredible family will continue your dreams and wishes. I pray his family will gain strength in their memories they made with him and know they are supported by friends, who are fortunate enough to have a De Botton as a friend. I feel truely blessed to have known you and your amazing children
