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.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association, lung.ca/donate.
Will always remember my motorcycle ride with Claude I felt so safe, Claude told me to breathe in the sweetness of the air, It felt like we were flying,,I loved every moment.❤️ And the Christmas I spent with your family, when I really needed family, was such a special time. ❤️ Memories to treasure. Sending love to all the family.
RIP Claude.
You were greatly loved and will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace my friend, we didn’t get together often enough but it was always a good visit when we did. You will always be missed
Condolences to Paulette and the family.
I still have the CD that Claude burned for me 20 years ago. I always think of him when I play it. He will be missed. Xoxo
