Curtis attended George Brown College (Culinary Arts), in Toronto. He worked in the food industry most of his life. He specialized in pastries, making the most beautifully decorated and delicious cakes for his family.

We will remember him for his extraordinary memory. He had an instant recall for dates, whether it be a birth, death, anniversary; even historical events.

The family would like to thank the staff of Maple City Retirement Residence for the care Curtis received over the last year and a half. He made many friends there and especially enjoyed playing euchre, cribbage and bingo with them.

Thank you to Bayshore Home Care for assisting with Curtis’s daily needs. A final thank you to the CKHA 3^rd floor Continuing Care nurses, doctors and support staff for your compassionate care.
