I look forward to meeting people who did, and gaining knowlege and some perspective on the person who is responsible for my existance. I have never heard a negetive opinion of my father. Which leads me to believe that he was a good and fair man. He had always taken care of his responsibilities with me and the situations that life had presented with me personally. Most men in his position seem to turn the other cheek. I'm deeply sorry for the pain this passing causes for the people who are closest. The last time I saw him, I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, and i remember a feeling of comfort, love, And security. That's something you can't fake. He was always in my thoughts, and I feel he did the best he could with the cards that were delt in my situation. I look forward to meeting a brother and other family members in a positive celebration of Claude's life. Thank you Jeff for making an effort to contact me and make me aware of the situation. I'll see you soon, and hope to gain something positive out of a loss.
