Claude was a great brother-in-law. I will really miss his friendly smile and his willingness to help others.

I was saddened to learn about the death of Claude yesterday. He visited us at Burke's Union Primitive Baptist Church for our monthly Saturday night services. He led singing for us in June and he was a very good singer and a humble servant of Christ. He will be missed greatly by those who knew and loved him.
