Dear Mrs. Curtis and Brad, sending you my love as your beloved husband and dad has found his way to everlasting happiness. I always loved bumping into Ted. He would always talk about the painting I made for him of your childhood home, Dwaine. He was so excited after having a glance of the painting in process that he backed up his yellow corvette into another parked car. I can honestly say, that he is the only one who reacted to my art this way. He was a good man to me and my family. My dear thoughts are with you. Love to Ted always.
Hi Dwaine and Randy. Sad to hear of Ted's passing. He was a good hard working man with a huge personality .
Dwaine, Randy and Brad, Our sincerest condolences to you and the rest of your families. I will cherish my memories of Ted from the deer camp at Eels lake .... a lot of fun times for sure. He was an incredible man that I learned from many times. Our hearts are with you all.
Dear Dwaine and Family, Our sincere condolences. Ted was a wonderful person and proud Rotarian. We enjoyed his company at our lunch table almost every Friday when we met and he was always helpful with Rotary events. He will be greatly missed. Barry & Beth
My deepest condolences to the loved ones; notably Ryan, Erinn and Ty who have suffered such adversity at such a young age. Sending love and strength from Grafton roots xo
So sorry to hear of this terrible news. A big loss to the family and community. Got to know the Curtis family from our early days of skiing. God be with you. Ps 23. From all the McKendrick family.

I was saddened to read of Mr. Curtis' passing. He was a wonderful person and a good family friend. Growing up just down the road from the family, his big voice would often startle me. However, his words were always encouraging and warm. He and his wife were always generous whether it was cheering on a team sport, supporting a school fundraiser or offering their property for my wedding guests to park. I am thankful to have so many fond memories of my childhood in Cobourg and lucky to have had the Curtis' in my life. Sincerely, Anne Fleming(Langhorne)

I would like to extend my sincere condolences on behalf of my mother (Betty Morris) and myself. I remember Ted as a smiling face at the golf course when I worked there. My father , Stan, always spoke so highly of Ted as a member at the course. His kindness continued when he briefly became my landlord, renting me an apartment when I got my first teaching job in Cobourg. May wonderful memories carry you through these difficult days.
Dear Dwaine, We were saddened to hear of Ted's passing. Many years ago at the golf course and where ever you may have met him, his greeting was always the same to us, "Hi cuz", and always a smile that made you feel good. May all your happy memories of your life together, give you those smiles all over again. Sincerely, Elaine Staples and Gary Staples.

Dwaine and family. I was so sad to hear of Ted's passing. Dwaine, you and Ted were a role-model couple and always had such a fun, exciting life. I am remembering all of the times Carl brought Ted with him, during my U of T days, to help me move, deal with car issues and other mishaps. I am also remembering and will always treasure the numerous times I saw you and Ted, throughout the years, while visiting family as well as when you were in Florida. Ted was a wonderful man - vigorous, energetic, and always kind and thoughtful. He will be greatly missed by so many. My thoughts are with you.

Ted was enthusiastic and energetic about all things that he did. He was charming and had a good sense of humour. He enjoyed being involved in Rotary and was very proud of his family.

To Dwaine and the extended Curtis family: I was saddened to learn today of Ted's death and I extend my sympathies to all his family. During my years living and practising law in Cobourg, I had the great pleasure of knowing Ted and seeing first-hand his many contributions to his community. Often working through the Rotary Club, Ted was frequently front and centre in that organization's many contributions to Cobourg and the wider world. On the musical side of my life, Ted was very supportive and his kind words were always encouraging. He was truly a larger-than-life personality, and I am hopeful that a lifetime of happy memories will comfort all of you in what is surely a difficult time. Brad Halls, Fergus, Ontario (formerly of Cobourg)
Dwaine sending our love to you and the family. We will all miss Ted but have wonderful warm memories of our times together. Blessings Tony and Carol
