Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 7, 2024.

Bradley Lillingston Curtis, 88, of Oro Valley, AZ, passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 21st, 2024.

Brad was born on November 14, 1935 to Stanley and Helen (Geromanos) Curtis in Brookline, MA where he enjoyed his childhood with his sister Judy.

Brad got a BA degree in English from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. He married the love of his life, Libby Hobbs, on March 29th, 1958. Brad worked in sales and marketing for IBM in Miami Florida and had a successful career that eventually took him to California where Brad and Libby raised their 4 kids before retiring to Roseville CA.

Brad enjoyed baseball trivia, golf, wine, genealogy, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and traveling. Brad and Libby moved from Roseville CA to Oro Valley, AZ in 2012 where they got to enjoy the community, weather, and nature of the area.

Brad is survived by his four children; Kimberly Anne (Curtis) Thornton, Cynthia Lee (Curtis) Mason, Charles Stephen Curtis, and James Russell Curtis; and 6 grandchildren.

There will be a small celebration of life event held on Saturday November 16th at 12 pm in Roseville, California.

Brad was married to my 2nd cousin. They traveled to New Zealand quite a number of years ago, and we met and had a lovely afternoon together. I don't think either of us realized at the time that we were 10th cousins. The connection then was through Libby. But I actually was in contact with Brad more than Libby, due to his genealogical interests, which I also research. He contributed to Libby's and mine family tree, and I appreciate his effort, particularly his finding and sharing a picture of my great grandmother, Mary Manerva Milliken. Otherwise, I would probably never have seen it. I will miss the annual Christmas wishes and family updates.
May he rest in peace.

Bradley was my neighbor and lived across the street from me for several years. Bradley was the most friendly neighbor, always out chatting with people and always appeared happy. He always wore a little black hat called a pork pie and he loved to talk about it.
Eventually I became Bradley's nurse and he was a delightful patient who always remained a gentleman throughout his treatments. He always looked forward to something even if it was just a Texas burger from Burger King.
Bradley will be missed and I will always remember him with great respect.
