Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of transition. I do not have a single memory of Curtis where he was not laughing, smiling, or teasing someone. He brought so much joy into the world. God bless you!

Curtis and I were friends from grade school at Newton Elementary and graduated in the same class at Lee Edwards. Though I have not seen Curtis in many years, I have great memories of our friendship. He was a good friend and will be remembered by me and many others. RIP Curtis.

Dear Arch, Thank you for your kind comments about Curtis. He enjoyed sharing the story of walking to Newton School every day in the rain and the cold and it was up-hill both directions -- one of his favorites. I changed our FB pass words recently and now I can't get into Curtis' site. He was a member of the group Lee H. Edwards class of '59 and I would like for you to share his obituary with them if you will. Many thanks. Nancy

Nancy, I contacted Bill Gardner who can send a message to members of the class of '59. Hope you see some response.
