Curtis and I have been Trinity choir members for 48 years. The highlight of every Christmas and Easter service was hearing his beautiful solos. I always had tears in my eyes by the end. What a blessing it has been to be part of his life. He will be missed and remembered.

Curtis was so much fun on the golf course. Always a story or a joke. At our annual year end golf luncheons, it was hard to keep the number of trivia questions not to be linked to him in some way since he was such a character. He will certainly be missed since don’t think golf will be as much fun any more! Lots of stories connected with the following:
- Gold Vice ball
- Red tee box
- Birdie belly bump
- Talk or play golf?
- I’m a Marshall!
- The “Curtis Cup”
- Sphincter
- Why I like a pick-up truck
He was loved! May God bless his Lutheran soul!
