So sorry to hear of Curt's passing. I only found out about it today. He is the one person in my life that unselfishly did what he could to help me recover. I owe him so much but he would say he was the one who profited. He practiced humility and shared unselfishly. He will be missed but never forgotten. My prayers go out to all the family and those affected by his passing.

So sorry for your loss. Curtis was a very good friend to me as a young girl. He was full of fun, pranks and laughter. He had the blondest hair ! I could spot him way down the block on his bike that he put together from about 3 different bikes. One of the good kids, back when he grew up on Holland Sylvania and Dulton. I also hung with his cousin Becky. R. I. P. my old friend and I'll see ya at the house Curt. P.S. thank you for fixing my bike chain.
