I have so many memories of Uncle Claude. I loved his visits in El Campo and always enjoyed coming to see him during our summer vacation. He was a wonderful and funny man. As much as we would love for him to be with us forever God had another plan but he is in heaven with his brothers, mom and dad and we have to be happy he is home with the Lord and family. Love you Uncle Claude.
