My deepest sympathies for your loss!! God Bless You with strength.
Old friend
Claude was good and great guy. When we were teenagers another best friend , Hugh Reese and I would go over to claudes house and visit. Claude had a very nice stereo and it is the first time I heard the song “trudy”by Charlie Daniel’s, played loud, and Boney Maroney by Johnny Winter. My thoughts and prayers are with Claude and his family during this trying time. Rock on! Your friend Donnie.
