Q: What was one of the qualities of Curtis that you loved most?
A: Curtis always shared his time, his knowledge, and his tools with the neighborhood goons who needed to fix their crappy cars. However, he would often stop whatever project we were working on to take a neighbor to a doctor appointment or grocery store. He gave a lot and never asked for anything in return.
While the mechanical skills he taught me were questionable/dangerous/illegal, Curtis also taught me through his actions to be a good neighbor, a caring adult, and an honest man.
And despite the small garage fires and occasional male nudity, he always welcomed me and my idiot friends back into his house.
Thank you, Curtis.
