I have many fond memories of the stories Curtis and French shared about traveling together in the clothing business.
Papaw Curtis was a wonderful and kind person, of incredible wisdom, attentiveness, intelligence, and generosity. My life will forever be shaped by his care towards me, believing, when I was unable of so myself, to “reach to the stars”, and doing so helping others and not losing sight of a moral compass. He valued knowledge and education (and a good laugh, book, and meal!), never shying from sharing it with others. He was protective of his friends and family, and I am deeply honored of calling him Papaw. Thank you for everything. My prayers and love are with all his family and friends.
