Mr. Curtin was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, and Woodmen of the World. He was a veteran of both WWII and the Korean War, having served with the Navy.
He served tirelessly for his church, well into his eighties, teaching CCD classed to the children and RCIA classes to those choosing to join the Catholic Church.
He truly demonstrated what it was to be Christ-like, extending a hand to help with a smile on his face, and a warm heart that radiated love. His natural demeanor caused you to feel loved even if you only crossed his path for a few minutes.
The family would like to thank those that have shown him kindness during his time of need, Premier Hospice, especially his hospice nurse, Rhonda Milstead, his nurse Patti Jones, for their excellent care and friendship.
Pallbearers will be Patrick Stephens, Mason Thompson, Shane Young, Brian Welker, Wesley Alford, and Erich Boone.
“I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the Faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8
