We will forever be grateful to Jim and Brenda Whitney who also contributed their blood, sweat and tears to build our dream. Without them and the help of many of our friends, Curtis would not have been able to see his dream of moving into and using our paradise at Lake Malachi. Braden and Kathy Fast, you have shown us your unwavering love, support and friendship for many years. Doug Zaporzan, who was our rock at the hospital. The girls and I can't thank you enough just for being there. Curtis you are my East, my West, my North, and my South. You are my world. I will love and miss you forever and a day. Dad, The man we look up to and admire. We're everything we are today because of you. We are so proud to have had a father like you in our lives. If only your stay here with us wasn't so short so we could build on all the wonderful memories we will keep of you. Dad you'll be missed and be in our hearts forever. We love you more than you knew and always will. Dad, You taught me how to love by The way that you loved me; And by your unseen sustenance, To see what you could see. You gave to me through who you were The gift of what I am. Your pride in me is now my pride; Your faith, my caravan. Your life does not conclude with death, Nor will it end with mine, For all the lives I touch, you touch, And so on through all time. Respecting Curtis' wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service. Funeral Arrangements in care of: WHEELER FUNERAL CHAPEL 211 REGENT AVENUE (AT BOND) 224-1525
