Dr. Claiborne was one of the nicest men I ever met. He was a great sportsman and a wonderful humanitarian. He was also one of my wife's obstetricians. He was a very kind man and I had the utmost respect for him. My company painted for the Claiborne family for 30 years. Dr. Claiborne and Mrs. Claiborne are two of the finest people I ever had the pleasure of  knowing.  My deepest condolences to Mrs. Claiborne and her family.  Sincerely, Wayne Crump of Crump & Hughs, Inc.
