He grew up in Union Corner, but Claude and Betty Jean did spend five years in Slave Lake,

Alberta working in the oil fields. Claude was a welder by trade but later became involved with

building aquaculture equipment and later working in the aquaculture industry. Claude was well

known for his kindness to his family, friends, and community. A dedicated lifetime member of

the Wellington Pastoral Charge, he held multiple positions within the church during this time.

Claude was often seen cutting grass at the Union Corner United Cemetery.

He loved Island summers, being on the water and hosting friends new and old. One of the

multiple highlights for Claude was watching his grandchildren play sports and thrive, there was

never a rink cold enough to keep him away.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. Cherian, Dr. Zotova, Dr. Hayden, Staff

at PCH, and EMS who came to our home.
