Thinking of you Kathy and your family. Saddend to hear of your loss. May God's promise grant strength during this difficult time, comfort for the tears and Light for the way. The testimonies to your father gave insight to the goodness of him. Our sincerest sympathies. Love, tia and tio

Hey Kathy, Mark & David, I just wanted to let you all know that the three of you are in my thoughts and in my heart. Cousin Mac was a wonderful man and friend to me. He never missed one of my parties and loved to chat on the phone. Cousin Mac always made me feel good about myself and working at KETCH. I loved talking with Cousin Mac as I did learn so much from him. Everytime Cousin Mac would come over to our home he had some kind of food with him that he had made and it was always awesome....

Kathy,
What a wonderful man your dad must have been. I hope you find peace and comfort in your memories of the time you've shared together. Even though you may have been miles apart it was evident that he was always with you and he always will be. We are thinking and praying for you and your family.
With love,
Tammy, Kent, Gabrielle & Madison

What a wonderful man to take a bunch of silly teenage girls water skiing on Eldorado Lake for the times of their lives!! And David! You guys were blessed with a wonderful father. Please know that I am thinking of you and wishing you the best through this very difficult time. Love you!!

Very touching obit. Wish Lee and I could be at Mac's memorial service tomorrow. Just know we are thinking of you and send our heart-felt condolences to your family. You have a very "cool" Dad.

Love you

Kathy, sweet Kathy I know how it feels to have your Daddy go away, I miss my Daddy every day,and now it is that time in your life. I wish there was something I could say or do to help you feel better, I am always available to listen if you want to talk or talk if you want to listen. Your Daddy will always be a part of you...so he's never too far away. I did not have the pleasure of knowing your father and I know he must be a wonderful person by knowing you. It will be summer before I am in...

Kathy, Mark and David:
Our thought's and prayer's are with you. You couldn't have a better Father than you were blessed with. Having married into the Curless family over 57 years ago, and knowing your dad and grandparents all those years, there wasn't a milder manner or soft spoken person any better than your dad! Kathy I hope you'll be able to make it down to Liberal, Mo. again for our family reunion. We appreciate your coming with you dad the time's you made it.
God Bless you...
