Claude Hanshaw Jr.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your dear family member and loved one. My name is Ardrene Johnson. Claude knew me as Ardrene Beasley. We were former classmates at Washington Highschool and we're both 1971 graduates. I knew he was a diabetic and he'd told me about illness and some other health issues that he had. I found out late last night when another classmate called me to say she was reading the AJC obits yesterday and came across his name. He was always kind to me and he was even tempered person. I know his parents preceded him in death, most recently his dad. We also lived near each other while I was growing up and my parents still reside in SW Atlanta not far from the Aniwaka residence. My parents live on Sandtown Road in SW Atlanta. My heart goes out to the family and I certainly will miss him. He was a friend. I'd like to hear of his last days. He had been on my mind and I think I spoke with him late last year. My work number is 404 685 2606 and my email address is [email protected] -- I'd like to have a funeral program as my remembrance of him. Thanks for reading this,
Ardrene Johnson

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
