Judy, we are terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He sounds like he was a wonderful person, and he raised great daughter!

Claude was full of spirit, had a ready sense of humor. He always made us chuckle! We loved his persistence in the pool, if he couldn't swim, he would float, if he couldn't float, he would stand and move his feet, if he could do that he would talk and tell great stories. He will truly be missed! Bobbie Reinhofer
