My prayers and sincere condolences to my friend Lorraine and family. Claude was a remarkable friend of mine. He had so much faith in God, a remarkable musician, funny sense of humour and he loved his family & friends so much. I will never forget at Lac Ste Anne Pilgrimage people thought he was a priest and they were asking him to bless them and their items purchased. Sure enough he did. He laughed later and said, “oh well it doesn’t hurt to bless people and pray for them”. My friend, I will miss your friendship, you were part of my music upbringing and I’ll never forget.
