My cousin Curtis meant the world to me and many others. He was secretly my role model who influenced my path in the Military. But before then, he was that one person who I leaned on for support while a teenager and can remember him swinging me around by my arms giving the allusion of flight. Although our paths took different directions later into my adulthood, he was never far from my thoughts. He will be missed dearly and forever loved by me. John L. Huff, III
I remeber growing up on 27th st, and living right next door to his grandmother( muh) is what made us like family. Being best friends with his sister Lisa, we all played together with others on the street, until the street light blinked. Those were some great times. Curtis had a silly half smile that would do every time he did something funny or sneaker. While missing him, I will hold all the wonderful memories we made through all the years we lived on 27th street. Rest and suffer no more my friend.
It seems like just yesterday my dad killed an entire nest of wasps after one stung my daughter. He slipped and fell getting her before telling me to take her inside the house. She never had to worry about getting stung again.
I remember how much he cared for my mother. He would always tell me how she saved his life when he was going down a destructive path. So in return he spoiled my mother and put her first. He would always call her his wife or his angel.
That didn’t mean he forgotten about his children. Into our adulthood he kept in contact even if it was to say hey. He even spoiled his grandkids and made it a point to be consistent in their lives.
My father was a great man and nobody can tell me otherwise. I knew he loved us and we made sure he knew we loved him. I’ll always love my father.
We miss you so much Daddy. Rest in Heaven!
