My dear,sweet friend Dee, I just want you to know how many wonderful memories I have of us being teenagers in Dalton and all the fun we had at your house and at mine. Everytime I go down Dug Gap Rd, I glance over at your house and think of you and your family. Your daddy was such a precious person. I know he meant the world to you. I hope you know that I grieve with you. Nobody can ever replace our daddies. Please also give my love to your mother and to Steve. I miss you!!!

To the family of Coach Crider,
The Dalton High School Class of 1957 wants you to know how much we loved Coach! He was a wonderful example to us, and we remember him with great affection.
Our prayers are with you and may God comfort you all.

May God bless the family in this time of sorrow. Coach Crider's concern for his players helped shape my life. He gave 2 hrs. of his valuable time just before he moved to Florida to meet with Vernon Floyd and myself at Powell's Restaurant. He also visited my aged father at his home. He will be greatly missed.

Coach Crider was one of my favorite people. I remembered him from my days as a student at DHS, and later when we would see other around town. I always enjoyed talking basketball with him. He will be missed by all who knew him.
My thoughts are with his family.

Coach Crider was a very giving man. Many young Dalton boys could have never played indoor basketball if Coach had not given up his weekends to open the old gym and play babysitter to 100's of young men in the 1950's and 60's. God will surely bless Coach Crider.

Claude made such an impact on my life during my years at Dalton High School and it seems like we would always seek each other out after church before moving to Melbourne.He was my friend. Best wishes to you Dot, and also to the family. Jerry Arnold [and Eilzabeth]

Claude was a dear friend and co-worker at the Winchester
plant. The world would be a better place if we had more people like him. My condolences to Dot and family.
