Dear Al and Mary,
I knew Claude from the MWCC. He was a great curler, gracious whether winning or losing and a pleasure to socialize with after the games. We will all miss him. My thoughts are with you in this sad time.

À toute la famille de Claude,
Quel choc ce fut d'apprendre cette si triste nouvelle. Nous avons passé tant d'heures à réviser des rapports annuels ! Que de délicatesse envers les autres, de loyauté et de probité en un seul homme. J'ai adoré te côtoyer à Astral. Jamais,je n'aurais pu imaginer que tu partirais si tôt. Sois en paix maintenant.

Cher Alain, chère Mary,
Je désire vous présenter, ainsi qu'à toute la famille de Claude, mes plus sincères condoléances.
J'ai appris avec stupéfaction ainsi qu'une grande tristesse le décès de Claude tard hier soir. Je garde un excellent souvenir de lui, que j'ai côtoyé au Club de Curling Montréal West dans les années 80 alors qu'il était trésorier du Club.
Mes pensées vous accompagnent dans ces moments difficiles.
Sincèrement.
