  3. Oh how I will miss our almost daily chats. I felt so honored, and so special that I still had an uncle who could call me and keep in touch. I’m going to miss that so much.
    I know how much Curtis has missed Mary, and Mike, so I know the reunion in Heaven is joyous. To Teresa, Diane, and all your families, may God wrap His loving arms around you, and carry you through these difficult days. Thank you for sharing your sweet, precious Dad with me.

  6. What I remember of Uncle Curtis is he loved God and family with his whole heart. Now he steps into his eternal reward. And that is really what matters most. He is enjoying a new body without pain. May those closest to Uncle Curtis who still remain; earnestly seek after God with all your heart as he did. Be comforted in knowing that he knew God.

  9. I will cherish the memories of my brother-n-law before and after the passing of my husband, Thomas, the brother of Curtis. After Thomas’ passing, he would call me on a regular basis to make sure I was doing okay. I will miss our phone conversations. I know that Curtis & Thomas are enjoying playing golf in heaven.
