Hampton, NH – Claude Daniels, 90, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his wife and children, on Sunday, July 9, at Beth Israel Hospital. He left us a month shy of his 68th wedding anniversary to his beloved wife, Rachel Edith (Anctil) Daniels.
Claude was born to Claudia and Aime Daniels of Westbrook, Maine and was the third of ten children. Claude is survived by his wife, Rachel, his five children (Donna, Debra, David, Denise, and Darleen), his eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
After his military service in the Air Force, he went to college followed by a 34-year career at Raytheon as a lead writer on projects such as the Patriot Missile System. He was a quiet and humble man and was happiest when surrounded by his family. He loved watching golden oldie shows and spending hours on his huge stamp collection. He will be missed by all.
The family will be having a private ceremony.

Claude will be missed beyond words that I can say. I had the unique perspective of marrying his only son. I loved his silly sense of humor and great pride for serving our country. I could sit for hours and listen to his stories. Our children David Claude and Nick Finn will miss their wonderful Pepere and his beautiful singing voice. Heaven just received the most precious gift.

To David and Lisa and the kids DJ and Tenika and Nic and the extended family my sincerest condolences. I heard many stories of this wonderful man over the years. All of them were centered in love and laughter. To all who loved him what a blessing to have someone so special in your lives. May the memories you cherish surround you like a warm quilt hand made with love now and as you move forward in life. May you tell many stories of him and his life so his grandchildren will know him too.

Sam and I are so sorry for your loss. Though we didn’t know him well, we knew him well enough to know he was a special person. He loved his family as evident by the wonderful children he and Rachel brought up. He will be missed by all his family and friends, but we are comforted by knowing he is now in a better place and we will see him again.
