• Sincere sympathy and prayers to Sandra and all the Halstead family on the loss of your loved 0ne. I send love to my Grandson Jarret and his fiancée Jess. So sad Jess that Grandpa cannot be physically with you but will be watching down on your wedding day August 9 with a smile and love. He would have been so proud. Hang on to the memories you have and keep them close to your heart. Hugs Grandma J. - Posted by: cheryl (acquaintance) on: Jul 26, 2025

• I first met Claire at Grey Goose Bus Lines when I was 22 years old, and just starting my career as a young Motor Coach Operator. Claire always made time to educate me about the mechanical side of the buses, and he was always kind and patient. His contribution to teaching me about buses, helped me become a better, more knowledgeable driver, and I’ll always be grateful for that. After I got to know him, I soon realized this guy was one of the best in his craft as a Heavy Duty Diesel mechanic. I’ve always respected him for this, and for being who he was. I was truly saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to Tim, and his entire family for their tremendous loss. - Posted by: Frank Farkas (Former Co-worker) on: Jul 25, 2025

• I had the privilege of working closely with Clare at Grey Goose for 20 years plus. In working with Clare he proved to be what you saw. Clare was a man of integrity, honesty, loyalty, and a very talented technician. I can recall many times we we faced with tight timelines and difficult decisions and Clare did all he could to make things work. He was truly one of the best.
