February 26, 2023 at 8:09 pmClaude, you have left us much too early, my friend. We are very fortunate to have shared some fun times together as well as pray through some difficult times. Some of your paintings adorn our home and they are now reminders of our friendship. As we often asked Claude “give Linda a big hug for us”. Love you, buddy.
