Curtis was one of my first friends on STX. We worked together at a restaurant and he really took me under his wing there. We played trivia, bowled and hung out at beaches with him, Emmy and of course Charlie Murphy. We are deeply saddened by his unexpected passing and my heart aches for his daughter and family. I can´t get there this week, but Seth and I send our sincere condolences.
