It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you.

We are praying for peace for all of you in the coming days-We will always remember the kindness and friendly words of Curtis
Curtis was my first friend when I moved into my house in Farmers Branch in October, 2007. When I would be outside in my yard, he would talk to me over the back fence. He was a very kind and helpful neighbor. I inadvertently caused him to have to do a little clean up on his side yard. When I had the overgrown crape myrtles removed, they revealed a little shed he had built on the side of his house. He had to do some repairs and painting but he laughed about it saying I had exposed his unkempt workshop. He loved to watch my two little dogs play. The first time, he thought they were fighting. The little Yorkie, Benny would come running out to attack Siegfried,the little Schnauzer. Then before he knew it, Benny was on the bottom with Siggy on top. It made Curtis laugh every time. We
discovered that we had a common interest. The finding, wandering, and documenting old cemeteries. With all his many interests and services for the community performed, he really made the world a better place. Love to Carol and all his beloved family. Curtis set a good example for all and will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
I worked with Curtis at Harris Corp. in the 80’s. He had green patent leather shoes! He was a kind, & funny man. Rest in peace Curtis.
Curtis cared for others and gave his time to several good causes. A true Gentleman. God Bless you and Yours.
I was looking at some old records I have and came across the name of Curtis Flatt. Just out of curiosity, I did a quick inquiry on the internet and learned of his passing. So sad. I wish I had kept in touch. I am his cousin. He and I share the same great grandfather, Leasel Flatt. Years ago in 1987 we had a serious discussion about his son’s school project – the Flatt powderhorn. The family tree that showed the path of how he obtained it is what got me to looking today. He temporarily loaned it to me at that time. We both graduated from Waco High School in 1956. I am a little late but I bid my love and farewell to you Curtis.
