My brother David and I didn't know Ted well (he was a few years ahead of us in school at Orono), but I remember well the Ted Curtis cabin up on the hill behind the high school which was a delightful spot in the woods near Orono, as well as his working on gettingJohnny Mack Brook designated as a "youth" fishing stream, limited to young people. That was the kind of effort he seemed to be constantly engaged in...doing something for others in a quiet, non-obtrusive way. I followed his career in the Maine Legislature and knew of his work in Orono for many people....My folks, Vincent and Frances Hartgen, always spoke well of him as a community leader and Maine citizen. I live in the West now, where I serve in the Idaho Legislature, and am sorry to learn of his passing. Our Best to his family.

Ted was a shining star in Orono. He was one of those people who could always be counted on to help other people and the greater community. We will miss his sunny and upbeat attitude and auctioneering at the Kiwanis Auction this summer. Lisa and I made a donation to the Children's Hunger Fund in Ted's name to help the relief effort in Nepal. We did not include your email or address.

I remember Ted from law school as a warm and friendly classmate, who was destined for greatness. Having spent many summers in Maine, I was enchanted by knowing a real citizen of that wonderful state. Nancy and I have kept up with the Curtis family through the years by exchanging holiday cards. Will miss him greatly and send our love to Rose Marie and the children.

Rose Marie, we were shocked to learn of Ted's passing. He was a special man and loved by many. He was our best man in our wedding, an employer of Susan's; a fellow Naval Reservist and a member with me on the Pulp and Paper Foundation. All those memories will always be of how I think of him. Love, Ed and Susan Champagne

Ted Curtis was a role model for me in choosing the legal profession; I can remember meeting him in grade school when he came to Asa Adams to talk about the bill he sponsored to have return deposits on bottles and cans and I still have his autograph from that day in my scrapbook "Ban the Can"! He will be missed.

Dear Rose Marie, Words can never express the sorrow I feel for your loss. Such a loving couple! I will miss the ice cream at the Easter Sunrise breakfasts, the bread he baked for our many church functions, and that after we talked about it, he spearheaded the building of the Bangor Maine Vets Home Chapel. You and your family have my love and my prayers.

Ted's spirit lives!

To Rose Marie and family please accept my condolences for your loss. I served with Captain Curtis in the U.S Naval Reserve. He was my Commanding Officer when I made Chief and pinned on my anchors. We retired togeather in 1993.
He was one of the more professional Naval Officers I served with I consider him more than a friend and my lawyer. I consider him a shipmate. Fair winds and following seas Captain.

I am so sorry to hear that. Just terrible news. Ted was a wonderful guy, I knew him since Orono school days together, building a log cabin in their woods and so many other wonderful times. My sincere condolences to Rose Marie.

Sharon, Bill and I send our sincerest condolences and best regards. Ted was of course an inspiration and role model to me growing up.

I always appreciated Ted's thoughtfulness in including me in his adventures during my childhood (and his teen) years. Even in the 1950's I referred to him as the 'person I most admired.' My uncle's charismatic effect on all those around him was remarkable even when he was a teenager. It was from a million little things, just for example jumping in and insisting on doing the dishes so that the adults could relax after dinner. It wasn't affected, but just his nature. And of course that level of thoughtfulness and energy was just a foundation for his later, larger accomplishments.

He may be gone now, but his influence will certainly still be with us for the rest of our years.

Haven't seen him in many years but always enjoyed talking with a friend of the Ripon Society. He always did what he thought was right and to make Maine a better place. Will miss is sage advice. My deepest sympathy extended to his family whom he adored.
