I'm so sorry and saddened to hear of Claude's sudden passing. He was one of my favorite people to see at Kroger. Always had a smile on his face and was asking how I was doing, how my family was doing. He always brought a smile to my face and was a joy to talk to. I will truly miss seeing him!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

So sorry for your family and the sudden loss of Claude. His son Matt often spoke affectionately about him as a great father and man, totally real and down to earth. I'm sure he will be greatly missed. May the Lord provide comfort, peace, and loving support to the entire family.

Sorry to hear of Claude's passing. I got to know Claude best when we were on "management row" aisle 3xx. We'd joke with each other about who's account was in the most trouble (outages and such) any given day or week. He taught me the military term of "having the comm", lead communicator. Sometimes we'd say "got the focus", which would mean upline mgt was spending the most time watching how we'd get the train back on the track. "You got the comm, Claude?" "Yeah, I got the comm". Great times, great guy. Past business, talked about Chris and the boys all the time. Claude will be missed.
