He was a long time neighbor and friend. Glenda and I always enjoyed our encounters with Curtis and Patricia on evening walks. We are saddened by his passing and our prayers are with Patricia. We are also saddened that we will be unable to attend his memorial as we will be out-of-town for our granddaughter’s HS graduation. May Curtis rest in peace.
We are saddened by Curtis’s passing and extend our sympathy to Pat and the family. We enjoyed them as neighbors for many years, and Curtis was a helpful mentor to Mark during some of their years together at Newport News Shipbuilding. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him.
