An ongoing family debate was finally resolved this week: duct tape does not in fact solve every problem. After several frustrating months of illness, Larry Curtis passed from us on January 21, 2016.
Larry is remembered by his wife, Pam Rennie Curtis, his children and their spouses, Lexa and Jim and Chad and Jennifer, his grandchildren Clara, Adeline, Spencer, and Lauren, his brother and sister-in-law, Dan and Connie Curtis, and his father Raymond, as well as countless friends, colleagues, clients, and students.
Larry was a dedicated public servant, beginning with his service to our country in Vietnam, for which he earned a Bronze Star, and continuing with many years' service to the City of Ames.
His devotion to service took other forms as well, leading to 41 years shaping the minds of business students at Iowa State University and using his extraordinary mind to help his clients as an attorney. As those who knew him are aware, though, his true passions were family, cooking, Iowa State athletics, and last but surely not least, golf.
Larry was happiest, when he was able to combine those things he loved most: tailgating with family and friends in the backyard before ISU football games, coaching his children's little league and softball teams, experiencing new places and tastes while traveling, and racking up his 10 hole in ones. His impact on the City of Ames and the ISU community will, hopefully, be long felt.
His influence on his family and friends will, without question, be missed, but will be fondly and frequently recalled.
Memorial services will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, with Visitation on Sunday, January 24th from 2-5 pm and a celebration of life service on Monday, January 25th at 10:30 am.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established at First National Bank of Ames and will be used to establish remembrances at Iowa State University and Ames Golf and Country Club.
