First I'd like to offer my sincere condolences to the family over the the loss of Curtis. He was a great guy. My prayers are with you and I pray that the good Lord is with you with his healing power in your time of loss. May the Lord always be with you as you negotiate your way through this time of loss and grieving.
I worked with Curtis since 2000 at TAPO and before that since about 1994 when he worked at PM-SOA in St Louis. He really "knew his stuff" and was widely respected by all who met him or worked with him. To condense his many great works and contributions into 300 words is impossible. He was simply "The King of Chinook Aircraft Logistics". He has been and will be missed, by all. RIP Curtis.
