I worked with Claude while he was still with Flextronics (before moving to SMART). Claude was always a pleasure to work with and I’ve missed the lunch time discussions we used to have. On behalf of all of us at Flextronics, we send our deepest condolences and hope you can find peace during this time of grief.

Rosie & family,
Although many years have passed since Claude and I worked together his genuine smiley spirit lives on in my memory. I was having a difficult time this week as my husband & I were both laid off , but as I was cleaning out my desk, a single piece of paper fluttered to my office floor; I ignored it and continued with packing 22+ years into my boxes. When I finally stopped, and bent to pick the only paper that fell in the chaos, and turned it over, there was a picture of Claude, front & centre of our old Nortel support group. This is Claude's way... telling me it will be better, and continuing to offer help from beyond. Please know how much he loved all 4 women in his life by means of bragging with pictures & stories when we spoke. I hope you find peace in your happy memories. With love, Janice

A Poem for Claude

Though our sadness is deep,
Your memory makes us smile.
You had a heart of gold,
And did everything with style.

Trips to the sea,
And also to New York City,
Brought you joy & laughter,
And often made you giddy!

Also not unnoticed,
Was your fondness for your toys;
Your bike and electronics,
Were the envy of all the boys.

You shared with us your passions,
Always in great proportions;
(We’d never be without
Our coffee from Tim Horton’s)!

But of all the things that brought you joy,
Nothing ever could beat,
The three girls you love so much,
With them, no one could compete.

We promise to watch over them,
To be there by their sides.
You’d want us to remind them that,
In them, your love abides.

-We love you and we're here for you always,
Angiolina & Marc
