I am so grateful for all the kind words of friends & family in the passing of my brother, David. I could not have asked for a dearer brother with his sense of humor, musical talent, love of cats and his deep love and respect for friends and family. He was a very special person. I greatly appreciate all your thoughts. Thank you. Maureen Curtin

Like all of the Curtin kids, David was gifted. He was the best songwriter I ever heard, but he wouldn't admit it. He had a gift for writing words, but played it down. He burned so brightly for a time; I am humbled to have been his friend.
