I am sorry for your loss Gill family. I wish I would have found information a lot sooner. My uncle Burlee Gill would have loved to have met his Uncle Curtis Lee. I never got to him either but may he Rest In Paradise.

Gill family so sorry for your loss. He will be missed. He was always smiling. Curly was a big part of our family before he met your Mom. He worked for my Dad Harold Cox. He was with us in Arizona and then to Colorado. We all loved him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To all the family I am so sorry to hear of Curly's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Fraley's for 10 years. What a fine, fine Man, Husband & Father. Our friendship never ended after I left Fraley's. I would go visit him & Peggy or he'd stop by my house to check in on me. I'd go with him to get firewood for my house, now that was an experience! Hard to keep up with that man! We'd have a blast! What a great soul, R.I.P. Curly. God Bless!

Janice & family of Curtis: Sorry to hear of the loss of Curtis. He will be remembered by many of us as a very special person who had to help you if he felt you needed it. Because of his kindness to others many of his friends will always remember "Curtis Gill".

To Curtis's family. Curtis (I never called him Curly) was one of the kindest and most honest men I ever met. He was always so cheerful and no matter how much he needed, he always put the other person first. He was truly a "Gentleman an Scholar". We will all miss his good cheer, big smile and his great handshake. God bless you all in the sad time and Rest in Peace, Curly, you earned your place in Heaven if ever a person did. Sing loudly with the Angel choir!

Michelle, Randy, Lee and families ... We were saddened to learn of Curley's death. He was an honest and genuine man, and he was a great friend of my parents, Honk and Betty. He always found time to visit them and bring some happiness to their day. He will be be missed, but remembered. I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend his service because I'll be out of town.
