Our deepest sympathy to your entire family. We will forever remember Curtis for his smile. A great man. We are happy to have know him through Saint Fabians and the library.
My deepest condolences to your entire family. Our family lived across the street from the Kerziches in Summit., and we all grew up playing together. I remember both Curtis and Bradley playing with John back and and forth over the long hot summers.
May your loving memories be a comfort during this difficult time. I will keep you all in my prayers. May God bless you all.
Our deepest condolences with your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in your memories.
Maureen &. Ed O’Neill
