It is hard to know what to say, but just know you are in our thoughts and prayers.  I have so many good memories of your happy for smiling family. It makes me smile to know that Jenny is now a teacher. We are away with our entire family but will light a candle for Claude tonight. Much love to all.

To Dear Nancy and Family,
Words cannot express our deep sadness at the passing of Claude. We will be forever grateful to him for letting us have a glimpse of a truly wonderful person who lived his life to the full. We promise to always have him in our hearts everyday.
Love John & Karole Aspinwall

My heart is heavy tonight as I learned of the sadness in the wonderful Keener family whom I met when I had the privilege of being Katie K.'s third grade teacher. That was the way she always signed her name even on Claude's Father's Day card!   I remember Claude with a twinkle in his eye and an obvious love of his family.  You Nancy, Jennie and Katie have a special angel watching you with pride.

Nancy, Kate and Jennifer... all of the family is so sad for all of you and our heart and love go out to you.  Love all The Prendergast Family

Dear Nancy, Katie, and Jennie,
I am in total shock that you have lost your husband and father. You have my deepest sympathy and will keep you in my prayers. Love to all of you.

It was my great privilege to call Claude my friend dating back to our years in college.  He was extraordinarily gifted with intelligence and athletic ability that went hand in hand with a knack for fitting in well in any situation be it social or professional.  What I will remember most, though, was his great sense of humor and fun-loving personality.  Time spent with Nancy and Claude was always special for the great fun and joy they had being together.  Claude's life was a success in every way imaginable, at home or in the world of business. Yet, it was his way of bringing a ray of sunshine and levity into any situation that I will miss the most.  He was a wonderful man.

Dear Nancy and family,
Claude was the rare person that could face any challenge with a smile on his face and bring laughter to those around him no matter the circumstances.  We will always remember his booming laugh, broad smile and mischievous twinkle in his eye.  He was a wonderful man.   You have our deepest sympathy during this sad and difficult time. 
All our love,

I extend deepest condolences to Nancy, Jennie, my niece Katie, nephew Josh and great nephew Eric, following the loss of your husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with all during this period of bereavement.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May the most high God comfort you during this time.
(Psalm 83:18)

Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the Keener Family. Claude is a very special soul and will be missed by all.

Nancy, Katie and Jennie,
Are thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you at this difficult time. 

Megan, Ryan and Kevin Lugo

Nancy, my deepest sympathy to you, Katie and Jennie! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mary and I will miss Claude greatly, and we extend our sympathy to Nancy, Katie and Jennifer.  Claude was a joy to have known as a friend.

With deepest sympathy, I send love and prayers to Nancy, Katie, and Jennie.
