To the Deichert Family
We would like to pass on our deepest sympathies to you all! Claire was a great man who was patient and kind. I learned a great deal from him especially how to be a great neighbour, and friend. I always enjoyed time spent with him. Be it working for him in my youth or more recently around the lunch table with his family and friends on butchering days, when I was lucky enough to be able to attend. He was a great man who will be remembered always and missed greatly.
Wish I could be there to tell you all in person , you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of Claire’s passing…
Our thoughts and prayers are with Marg and rest of Claire’s family.
I always had a good chat and chuckle with Claire over the years…
Remember when Claire served on the BOD for Hay Telephone.. We always had to ensure there was a Scotch for him after every AGM…
A well respected member of the community…
Dear Mary Anne and Family.

With deepest sympathy
John & Julia Van Der Aa
