I gave you this, one thought to keep.
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush …
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone – – I am with you still,
In each new dawn.

Born in Laval, Quebec to William Roy and Felicité Bertin, Claude grew up on the Montreal and Lachute areas with his sister Doris and brothers Nelson, Eugene and Robert. Claude enjoyed living on the Dairy farm while working with his family. He spent as much time as possible getting his brothers into trouble! He loved fast cars and Harley Davidsons.
Claude is survived by his wife Paulette (step-children Amanda and Justin), his daughter Cherie (Rob and Maddox), his son Chris (Marta), and sons Terry and Justin.
May the sun rise in front of you,
The rain fall behind you,
And the wind follow you
as you ride with Angels in Heaven
and your friends who departed before you.
