Such a lovely an spirited obituary. I was sadly surprised to read of Claire's passing upon return from a business trip yesterday. She was a strong and open person whom I respected. My favorite memory was around the days Joe was running for Assessor - hugely qualified and too often unsuccessful. My parents helping Joe in those elections were my first electoral memories. Claire ran the show. Dropping of friend to friend cards, Passing out those black and orange bumper stickers which I proudly was allowed to put on our 1954 Chevy Nomad. Throughout Joe's electoral success and service as state rep she was the power behind the throne - and we all knew it. Running a home, supporting Neil and Gail's school activities and successes. Seeing the extended Sherlock and Bresnahan families all around. As the obituary noted the numbers are legion. Every comfort to the family - and joy to Joe to see his love again.
