Guestbook

  1. Curt will surely be missed. He was a man that loved his family and always made his extended family feel welcomed (me and my family). Such a good husband, father and peepaw. My heart goes out to the Atwood family. I wish I could be there. Love you all and praying that you remember the good times and how blessed you are to have had such a wonderful man in your corner. XOXOX, YaShanna

  2. To the family of Curt, my deepest condolence to you and your family at these trying times. I knew Curt when he worked at Kroger, we shared many fun fill conversation in those days, as I was the Wonder Bread salesman and our paths crossed almost daily. A good person and well respected. My prayers are with you.

  3. So sorry to hear of his passing. Long before any of his other jobs, he was our paperboy. My mom used to say that she loved his big smile. Curtis and I went to school together and over the years our paths crossed and I was always happy to see him. I remember those Kroger days but I think I missed the produce stand so much when it closed. I lost contact with him over the last few years but I know he was a good man and I know that his family will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

  4. Sorry to hear about the passing of Curtis. We were class mates at Morresville High. He was a really sweet guy, and fun to be around. He will be missed by the class of ’63’. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Atwood Family. May God Bless You All!

  5. So very sorry to all of you at the passing of Curt. I remember him from the Veg. market before I met Sue and Tony. A very nice man, my heart goes out to you. Pam McIntyre Day
