What fond memories I have of my Uncle Curt. He always had a smile on his face and jokes to tell. I recall growing up that every time he saw me he said the very same thing..Whatta ya say kid?! My brother and I had some great times on Fenmore Rd with our Aunt Marge and Uncle Curt and our cousins Beth and Karla, and so many great Christmases together. I'm so fortunate to have seen him recently; he still had that smile on his face. What a fine, fine man. With the highest regard, love, and sympathy~ Cathy Jean Prow-Lewis

Great memories of Uncle Curt, from being my next door neighbor on Alton Ave. to learning how to bowl at his
Speedway Lanes and the great parties He and Aunt Marge would host on Fenmore with his beautiful daughters. He was the rock solid foundation of the Heady family, a great Christian and I'm so glad we got to talk a lot recently.
With deepest regards and sympathy, Michael Prow

I worked for Curt when I was in high school. He was a great bowler and a great example to all. I idolized the man and at 76 I still do.
