Mark and Joy, I remember your daddy very well from when he used to come to the singings of the Pioneers. He and your mom were precious to my heart. May God give you peace during this time of grief.

During the very few years since we first met, I came to know Claude as a true gentleman, a gentle man, loving father. He loved his farm and enjoyed caring for his animals. A most enjoyable and witty guest in my home on many occasions, I will miss him greatly.
