RIP Mr Curtis.
My deepest condolences to Paul and the rest of Mr C's friends and family. I think we should be thankful that it was very fast vs how the big C can often work.

His family feels the same and are at peace (I do as well)...he contacted CV and that began the quick slide.

I don’t know why this makes me so sad. Maybe it was the pictures you used to post showing Mr. Curtis hanging out on your farm. I somehow became attached. Best wishes to his family and to you Seahawk. You were a good friend.

Yep, for whatever reason, I've been kind of expecting and dreading a post like this for a while. Every time this thread got bumped back to the top of the page, I was afraid that it was going to be bad news.

Ladies and gentlemen, I raise a glass to Mr. Joseph Curtis, a good friend to our colleague Seahawk. May his life and lessons not be forgotten.
Best to All. Les

G'day!

Thanks to you Paul and everyone else including his family, friends, and Pelicans for looking out for this man of the earth. Gardeners are a special breed and Mr. Curtis will be welcomed with open arms as he passes into the next chapter.
Godspeed Mr. Curtis......

Paul, I understand completely. I have not been allowed into my wife's vegetable gardens unsupervised since the unfortunate asparagus incident of '92.
Thank you for sharing your friend with this rag tag band of n'er do wells. We appreciated your fondness for the man. We all need a Mr. Curtis in our lives. Best Les

So sorry to hear of the loss of your close friend, Seahawk. I am thankful that his wife and daughter were with him when he passed. I can’t think of a better way to go than to have your closest loved ones with you.
May Mr. Curtis rest in peace where there is no more pain and suffering.

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Curtis's passing. It sounds like your family brightened the last few years of his life, which is a blessing.
Paul, do you think the residents of the nursing home would appreciate a package of puzzle books and the kind of magazines I sent to Mr. Curtis? You made a comment that sounded like they were enjoying them along with Mr. C. I would gladly round up a package and send them out. I have the address. ![]()
