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.
