Dear Curtiss Family, I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Uncle Donnie. While I only have memories from my younger years, he was an early inspiration for me to join the military. I am proud of his service for our country. He was a catalyst for my 26 year journey in the Air Force. May God rest his soul and help you all through this difficult time.
