Not sure what to say?

I grew up next to Barb and Randy, and went to school with Marc. Many fond memories of us running through the greenhouses at Remus as kids. I Just saw Curt last year, sad to hear of his passing. He was always so nice to me.

My prayers go out to the Remus family. Hard hitting football player at ISU. We were in the same recruiting class in college.

Condolences to all the family and friends and customers that are saddened by the passing of Curtis Remus. I want to say thank you for all the sage advice you gave me over the last 23 years. I came from the inner city of Chicago not knowing anything about anything that grows and created a flower garden for my Mom & brother & family that gave us much joy. Thank you for knowing everything about everything that grows

I meet Curtis a few back when I would go to Dunkin’ Donuts in the morning . I would see him with his buddies , I always said good morning guys . Curtis would say coffee is on me beautiful! Anyone who knows me knows the way to my heart is my D&D coffee . With that being said Curtis you made my mornings so special.. will miss seeing you around . May you rest in peace

I would like to say he was always eager to help kids, he was very good to Portage Little League with food, and donations. He was very good b in helping the Orak Shriners in selling and storing onions each year. You will be deeply missed Broother.

He will be missed!

Curt will long be remembered for his dry humor. May the memories we have of him sustain us through this time of grief. He was a softie under that gruff exterior and fast with a comeback if you tried to match wits with him. He will be missed by all who sought his knowledge on plants and vegetables. God Bless you Curt.

A kind and generous man always free with a smile and great advice.
All the beauty that grows around my home will be an enduring remembrance of him.
