      You will be so sadly missed in the community by so many of us Curtis. Not so many people these days have your caring attitude, your willingness to lend a hand wherever and whenever. I think you would have given the shirt off your back if it would help someone. A guy with a huge heart and a huge laugh. Sincere condolences to Curtis’s family and to you too Sasha, you made him so happy!
