  3. Fran, Kay and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Curtis’s passing. We SO enjoyed the bus trips we spent together…. the sharing times at restrants, buffets and games played on the bus. I would always appreciate his smiling face as we would walk up the buss aisle. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. I regret that we could not ” be there” in person at your time in need.. Our best….. Jon and Kay McWhinney. ,
