Claude graduated from Carroll College and Marquette University in pursuit of his career in Engineering. He was an avid fan of Wisconsin sports; Packers, Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers. He also enjoyed participating in football, baseball, dart  ball, cards, horseshoes, bowling, and hunting. He valued time spent with his children and grandchildren as well as that dedicated to the Lion’s Club, where he held past titles of President and District Governor of 27-A1 of Wisconsin in 2005.

A private graveside service, officiated by Pastor Rob Warnell of Fox River Christian Church, will be held at Prairie Home Cemetery in Waukesha.

In lieu of flowers, if you choose, a memorial to the New Berlin Lion’s Club,

of which Claude  is a lifetime member, or a charity of your choice, would be appreciated.
