==Family and death==
Duval died at the age of seventy-one. He was survived his wife, the former Betty Bowman (1914–1985), by only five months. He was survived by a daughter, Dorothy Duval Nelson,, whose husband, Charles Waldemar Nelson (both born 1947), is the former president of the World Trade Center in New Orleans; two grandchildren; his brother, Stanwood Duval (1913–2001); a sister, Catherine Duval Dean (1916–1997) of [[Albuquerque]], [[New Mexico]]; a maternal aunt, Alice Richardson Butler (1910–1995), and a maternal uncle who was his junior in age, Frank D. Richardson (1916–1993), both of St. Joseph in Tensas Parish.
Duval also had two [[nephew]]s, his namesake Claude Berwick Duval, II (born 1955), a prominent Houma attorney, and U.S. District Judge Stanwood Richardson Duval, Jr. (born 1942), an appointee of President [[Bill Clinton]], based in New Orleans. Judge Stanwood Duval, a Democrat, blocked the implementation of the "Choose Life" license plates approved by the state legislature on grounds that the optional plates were in violation of the First Amendment]] to the [[United States Constitution]]. Judge Duval's argument was unanimously reversed in 2005 by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, also in New Orleans. A perfectly divided court denied a petition for rehearing by a vote of eight-to-eight. Judge Duval is clearly to the political left of his late uncle. However, Claude Duval was a strong advocate of the First Amendment but also supported [[abortion]].
