So sorry for your loss. Curtis was a friend and fellow classmate at Oceanway and Jackson. Ran into him several times over the years and it was always the same - a friendly smile and conversation as if we had just seen each other the day before. To his family, cherish the memories. Rest in Peace my friend.
