Curtis was well known for his barbeque grilling skills wherever he went. He loved going for long walks around the neighborhood, hiking, his daily exercise by going for long bicycle rides, going for country rides with his family and taking in the scenery and least of all listening to the “oldies but goodies” music. Curtis we will miss your “Cheesy” smile, your kind words, your crazy sense of humor, and your warm hugs. May you rest in eternal peace until we meet again, we bid you farewell.
