Curtis and I were good friends during high school. I have fond memories of him. We lost touch with each other after high school. I shall always remember the good times we had. One of the last things he said to me was “I’ll probably go to ‘Nam”. I hope he didn’t have to. See you in Heaven, Curt.

My husband Cecil was a roommate of Curtis’s when he was at Evergreen Extended Care. He enjoyed Curtis and Curtis made Cecil’s stay much more enjoyable. He was so nice, had a great sense of humor and helped the stay to be easier. Please accept my condolences at your loss.
