So sad to read this. He was a very talented person, the things he envented! I have found memories of the garlic mincers. He was always pleased to see you when you met him somewhere. Great hairdresser. Still remember the days when he first opened his shop. We were there for hours while he alone worked his magic while we swept and wiped down. love to Christine and family.

Dear Christine, Darren and family
I want to express my sincere sympathy to you all during this sad time for you in the passing of Claudio.
I have such many fond warm memories of my time staying with you in the big house when Darren and I were together at school.
Claudio was always friendly, chatty and inviting along with generous to me where I always felt welcomed at your home. I look back with much happiness and fondness of the times we all shared back then together.
I remember Claudio always sharing to me about the gadgets, new inventions he was working on showing his passion and enthusiasm for this.
I am sending my love, warm wishes to you all across the miles from Chongqing, China where I currently work thinking of you during this time.
