Living in Germany and Scandinavia for so many years we didn't get to see Uncle Curt much but please know, Aunt Doris, we loved him very much. I can remember him coming home on leave from the U.S. Army many times bringing super neat gifts and us having lots of fun at 513 So. 7th St., Ironton,OH. God Bless you all, Susie(Hankins) and Fred

I remember Uncle Curt best when the Hankins family would regularly get together in Ironton at PaPa Hankins' home. Those days in the 50's and 60's were made special by Curt's friendly nature and kindness to all the children. His passing takes some of the childhood memories of all those wonderful family reunions. May God's grace give Curts family peace and good health in the days ahead.

Aunt Doris, Johnny, Dee, Jeff and family ... where do you begin but to say how sorry we are to hear of Uncle Curt's passing. One of my fondest childhood memories is having him visit, running and jumping onto his outstretched arms, me on one side and Richard on the other, him walking along, carrying us both. He will be missed by us and all who loved him dearly. Sincerely, Mark and Karen
