Thank you Claude for all the fun and memories! You have made the games so much more fun for my 6 year old, he loves when you steal shoes off of kids who hang their feet below the railings. His big dream there is for you to pick him as fan of the game so he always comes with his face painted and holding up his Thunder licence plate. Maybe this Sunday…

My favorite Thor moment occured after we had beaten Minnesota 2-1 in 2003, my first road game as Head coach of Milwaukee. After I shook hands with Coach Lagos I continued walking forward and raised my arms victoriously to the blue skye supporters only to get popped in the lip by Thor. (It was just a love tap, I have been popped harder by the Dusosky’s). I gained a lot of respect for Thor’s love of the Thunder that day and get a good chuckle when I look back and reflect on the moment.

Best Wishes Claude and thanks for all your hard work over the years! Good luck and Go Thunder!

BTW – Stay away from the Cheeseballs!

Well d0ne, Thor … I recall one day at the Jimmy when the temperature must have been near 100 degrees, and you were in that suit … your antics with a fan to keep cool were so very indicative of the difficulty you faced over the years … all the best, and I will hoist a cold frosty malt beverage in your honor on Sunday. Peace and futbol.

If the new Thor is half as good as the old Thor we will be in fantastic shape.

Long live Claude!
