Being the oldest grandchild I naturally grew up in the Claman house. I have so many memories of the holidays, the card games and the reunions. I can say that without a doubt uncle Bob always seemed to be happy and cheerful. It was his service to the US Navy that convinced me to join where my time came. I wish his family well. You all will always be in my thoughts. Love and peace.

Uncle Bob was an amazing man, son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and Friend to many. His smile always lit up a room. His laughter was contagious. He loved playing cards and going to casinos. My family was blessed with seeing him often as he and Aunt Pauline and then Aunt Bev would travel with my parents to visit us in San Diego. One year he was so excited about going to our flea market and buying these warm blankets for all his kids. I think he bought 7 of them. Then had a heck of a time putting them into the car to take home. Lol. God bless everyone. We miss you Uncle Bob. Rest in peace ??????
