Condolences
To Bernie, and all the other family members I haven't met,
I am so sorry for you loss. I have been around the glass business since dirt was invented, and have known Bernie and Claude almost as long. Both of these brothers were at the very top of their field with respect to their skills, dedication, work ethic, and just all-around nice guys. I last saw Claude in the fall of 2022, and he was his usual upbeat and chatty self, looking forward to a well-earned retirement. I am saddened that he didn't quite get there, but consoled by his long-time excellent service and comradery. Rest easy, old friend.
I am sorry for the loss of your Brother & Uncle. It was obvious that Claude loved his family & there was pride in his voice when he spoke of family members. I worked with Claude from the day he moved to Calgary until August 2021 when I retired. I have many good memories with Claude, he was a good person & a hard and loyal worker. PPG/Vitro were lucky to have him as an employee & I was lucky to have worked with him.
"Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever"
I am so sad for your loss, and my thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.
Claude will leave a huge hole in all of our lives -- Vitro just won't be the same without him. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with him, and I will always appreciate what a dedicated, loyal person he was.
Bernie, Fernand, Lucille, Jacky, Yvonne, and families. No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Our heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your brother. Wishing you peace at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
