Grandpa there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you . I still get tears in my eyes when I think about you because you weren't just my grandfather but my Hero and my friend. It was years ago that I put up on a pedestal . And Ive never met a man that could come close to being like you. Except for my son. Oh how I wish you could see him now. He's a fire Fighter now Grandpa, and has wonderful manners and is ever so polite. Someone to be proud of for sure. I wish we all could of spent more time together, you could of met Eden as well. She's grown to be a beautiful young lady. I have so many things I didn't get to say to you. I don't want to wait till its my time. so I whisper to you every now and then.I hope your at peace with grandma Oh how I wish I could see you both. I wont ever forget you and I will always love you. Yours always your Katie Did

Sir it was an honor and privilege to have known you. I am so glad you allowed me to hear parts of your story of your service to our country. Fair winds and following seas

Our lives will not be the same without our friend Claude.  Claude was one of the most incredible and interesting men that we have ever known.  He was loved by all and left a lasting impression on everyone.  Through the years he taught us many things and provided moral support for our careers.  We loved him like a father and he treated us like family.   We will miss him and will never forget him.

Claude was not only an awesome Uncle but a great conversationalist.  We've spent many hours reminiscing about his life with my Aunt Bina, his annual decorating of his home for all the various holidays (especially Christmas) and politics.  Rest peacefully Uncle Claude – I will miss you and think of you often.

Claude was a quiet leader, supportive mentor, and a true friend.  We will hold warm thoughts of him forever.

Claude was one of the ANCHORS of the Worldwide AUTOVON support team.  A quiet corner stone in the Defense Department.
