I was friends with Claudio when we were very young... I recall he was trying to get me to understand how important church was in a person's life. I met Claudio outside of the church. I was around seventeen, I think. I had walked out of the church because they were showing a video of "The End." Instead of inspiring me to attend the church, the video literally scared me out of the church. I was trying to figure out how to call my parents, when he shows up out of nowhere and walks with me back into the church. I recall thinking he must have been some kind of saint. We became friends for awhile, and then we lost touch. But, I still have that memory. I am so sorry for your loss of such a warm, tenacious, man with such integrity and so much to teach others. Thank you for the memory.
