Curt Shields

Whenever I think of Curt - it's "Curt and Patty". They took us on a wonderful boat trip on the Inland Water Way to Portsmouth, Va many years ago, and it seems like yesterday. He guided the boat with such ease and had so much fun! We did too!

And to the family, how sorry we were not to be able to come to the memorial service. Our hearts were there, and our love and prayers go with each of you.

(Patty, Tom will write his own memorial a little later.)

Curt (Dad),
To a wonderful father-in-law and grandfather. Scott Curtis(your name sake), Cody, Ashley and Barbara will miss you terribly,however, we are grateful for all our times together. Thank you Dad for all your love. You will be in our hearts forever!

I will always hold the memories of our time spent together as a special privilege. "At any rate", Curt was the best father-in-law a man could ask for.

All of the family gathered at the hospital on Monday, July 25, 2005, to meet with the doctor and Curt’s nurse, Mary Lou. They were describing to us what to expect in the next days or weeks ahead – none of us really knowing when, but knowing in our hearts that his time would be soon.

Mary Lou left a booklet in Curt’s room for us to read entitled “Gone From My Sight–The Dying Experience” written by Barbara Karnes. I went to visit Curt Wednesday morning at which time I read...

To the best brother a sister-in-law could ever hope for. Thanks for the wonderful memories. I will never forget you. Love, Dottie

I will miss you Curt far more than any words can express. You were my life, my mate, my friend, my buddy, my lover, my pal, and most of all, my wonderful husband for over 27 years. The memories of us that I hold dear to my heart can never be erased. I love you Babe. Your loving wife,
Patty

Dad was a very caring father and friend to Andy and I. I just can't put into words how much I will miss him. He was witty, creative and always gave good advice. I'll especially think of him on the water.
I love and miss you so much Dad.
Your little "Jirl".

We love you Curt and will miss you very much!

Bill, Cindy and Family
