Hey my big brother I miss you still every song every time you would not let me in a club you were DJ at saying I did not need to be there go home. I remember going and girls in front of me were saying I'm teddy's sister and they got in the club. I told them I was really was your sister they did not let me in how crazy. I would give anything to have those days back I was proud you were my brother always will be. RIP now...

I was very sad to learn today of Curtis' passing. I was a radio DJ with Curtis when he first began coming to UCR. Teddy Bear. Sweet C. The Wizard. Mighty Mac. We had some great times back in the day. Curtis was a musical genius ... but, more importantly, he loved people. He could bring a smile to anyone's face. I haven't talked with Curtis for over 20 years. I didn't realize until today how much I missed 'Teddy Bear'. My prayers are with Curtis' family and friends...
Love, Wayne Hicks

There are many memories that those of us Riverside natives remember fondly. There's Jeannie at the park, there's Edward Jenkins at Poly/church/weddings and funerals, there's Dale from Poly and every Black History parade, and then there is the voice that enlightened all of our moods every Sunday... the voice of Teddy Bear. As I long for days gone by, I mourn the many losses we have endured with the passing of time. As I found out, Teddy Bear new my sister Lisa Williams (King) very well. When we lost her, his thoughts and prayers helped sustain our family. As I discovered when she passed, life is most unpredictable and almost always surprising. We should all take the message Teddy Bear emphasized with almost every public moment: live each day to the fullest and unto the Lord. We never know where we will find ourselves as we are not promised tomorrow. God bless the family and friends during this very sad time. Hopefully we can all take this opportunity to reach out to those loved ones we have lost touch with and let them know we care. We must go about our Father's business by spreading His word and the spirit of His love... afterall, this is what our dearly departed friend would have wanted from us all.

Back in the day, Teddy Bear filled our lives with music and good thoughts and I would like to send a spiritual send off to him in music. "No body can be you but you". Prayers and blessings to your family.

Listening to KUCR on Sundays is one of my favorite memories and was such a major part of Riverside back in the day. Curtis was the force behind the station. I remember many days kicking it with him in the studio as well as our home. He was part of our family. I can still hear him laughing. My prayers are with the Wofford family & I will always remember the Teddy Bear.
