Not sure what to say?

Curtis was a kind and friendly gentleman. It was always "Curtis and Ann" for as long as I can remember. Finally, they are together again. I pray God will comfort your hearts during this time of great loss.

Curtis was a good friend {Hardees and golf} I liked him a lot and
will miss seeing him and talking with him.

Curtis is my second cousin. Before the family moved to the coast, he and I were sub-teen buddies. We rode our bikes in the Draper, NC area. Later as adults we would meet at Auntie Chandler's house for her birthday dinners. It was a joy to see him and I will miss him for I loved him dearly.

Curtis was a special person from the time he was a toddler and found ingenious ways to entertain himself through adulthood. He was always sweet and kind to the folks around him. We will never forget his wit and grace. Praying God's blessings on his family, may they receive the comfort and peace that only He can give. Love and Prayers, Gene and Edith Chandler

Great guy! Curtis was always a lot of fun to be around. I'll surely miss him

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Curtis' family and friends. Anne and Curtis were quite a pair. I also remember Curtis could sure smack a golf ball a long ways.

My Humblest Condolences to you and your family.
