We will sorely miss Uncle Curly. He seemed to know how to see the lighter side of life and was a joy to be around. Our prayers are with the family. See the photo album for a few pics I wanted to share here.

Uncle Curly had a wonderful sense of humor and his mouth always seemed on the verge of a smile. He will be missed and always in my prayers.

Curly had a unique way of making everyone feel welcome to the family. His gruffness was his special way of telling you he liked you. He will be missed and remembered by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Love to you all.
