  2. Richard Johnstone adds:

    I was very sad to hear of Claude’s recent death. We were good friends in Hampstead in the late 60’s and early 70’s. We met in the Rosslyn pub & had a common link in Trinidad. I spent a very happy childhood there in Point-a Pierre, where my father worked as an engineer for Trinidad Leaseholds – where Claude also worked for a time. He remembered my father with his baggy shorts.
    When I moved to Brussels, Claude came over with a group of Rosslyn regulars to visit.
    With various moves I lost touch with Claude & would be very interested to find out about his later life.

    Wherever he is now I wish him well.

    With many happy memories – Richard Johnstone

    Claude was my father and I spent the last days of his life talking to him about so many things, I miss him dearly. I had the priviledge of leading him to the Lord Jesus Christ and he ascepted Him as his Lord and Saviour. i will see him again in heaven. Love you father

    This is sad news. Such a delightful man. I too knew him from being a regular at the Rosslyn in the early 70’s and am the proud owner of a signed and inscribed copy of ‘The Mystic Rose’ which was laying on my desk and prompted me to search for his name.

  5. Andrea Flack adds:

    I am so glad to know at last about dear Claude. I have looked before but only found the ‘Mystic Rose’ reference. We met in the late 60’s in the Rosslyn and he was a very dear friend in some very dark times for me. I lost touch with him in the late 70’s when I think he returned to Trinidad. I also have a signed copy of Mystic Rose as well as a beautiful painting (I think it is pastels)that he did c 1967 in Paris, showing the view out of his window into the garden. He was a dear, sweet man who brought a wonderful peace to many friends – I am so glad that he was at peace at the end and know that we will meet again. Much love to his family in Trinidad.

  6. Wendy Beck adds:

    I knew Claude in 69- the early 70s and I’m sorry to hear of his passing. I was hoping to find something about him online so that I could be in touch again. I, too, met Claude at the Rosslyn Arms when I lived in Hampstead. He was sharing a flat with a fellow and before long, I moved in. He was a lovely man and I only wish the world were full of men like him. I, too, have my inscribed copy of the Mystic Rose.
