  1. Claudie was such a loyal and true friend. He was my birthday buddy and we always talked on our birthday. I know there is a huge and happy reunion in Heaven as Bob & Bonnie welcome Claudie home. Claudie was easily the best man I ever met. He always had either a poem or story to tell for every situation. I loved him and will always hold our memories in my heart.

    Claudie was my "go to man" when I needed help in solving a case that involved someone in Leflore County. He was not just in law enforcement.....he was law enforcement for many years. We lost touch with each other over the years but I will always remember him as a friend and fellow law enforcement investigator. My sincere condolances to his family and many friends.
