I have several memories, first the many trips to his place in Argyle and watching him work in the cabinet shop, swimming with Charlie in the pool, riding motorcycles there, my first Deer hunting trip they took me on after Mom had died and getting my first deer. Grandpa had told me he would have the head mounted before I killed it but I blew half it's face off. I remember the only way you could get near Dipper was to be holding an ice cream cone for him. I remember him teaching me construction when he was building the house on the creek west of Plano. I remember him being gruff too and my boys meeting him for the first time. They thought he was a funny old man and loved his stories. I will miss him even though I did not get to see him as often as I would have liked.

Many years ago when I was still in high school (I'm not 52) I was staying with Aunt Mit and Uncle Curtis (when they owned the apartments in Plano) while my Mom & Dad were out of town. I had made a Butter Cinnamon Pound Cake for my boyfriend (now my husband), I cut a piece of the cake for Uncle Curtis and then when Greg picked me up for a date, I gave the cake to him. Later in the evening, Uncle Curtis went back in the kitchen to get another piece of cake, and it was gone. He was absolutely dumbfounded about where the cake had gone. Aunt Mit laughed about the look on his face for years. I used to give him a hard time about it. Also, when I was a little girl, Uncle Curtis made me a orange formica table with some extra that he had. I LOVED that table. It was in my room forever. My sister and I played with it everyday. I will never forget him for giving that to me.

I will really miss my Uncle Curtis he was the role model of a rugged Texas Man for me, I remember his and Mitt's ranch with the airplanes and somehow this is how I picture Heaven is for the both of them. I am so happy to have seen them two years ago when they were still moving around the house. I really wanted them to meet my little girl Rory as well. I am happy that they both are not in pain anymore, and hope to meet them one day at that big ole'ranch in the sky. LOVE, Karen (Maureen's Youngest daughter)

My fondest memories of Uncle Curtis are of him in his shop in Argyle, TX, and picking up the skydivers he let "land" on his property. I remember the smell of the sawdust, his big smile, his love for his family and little Dipper… I was in awe of him when I would visit with my Mother (Maureen – his baby sister…) I also couldn't beleive what beautiful homes he built with the "sparkles" in the ceiling. I especially remember how he would make Mit laugh at some of the things that came out of his mouth. The man spoke his mind. That must a central ingredient in the "Watts" blood! I know my Mother (Maureen) adored him (kind of a hero worship for an older brother…) She can't type, so let me add that she is sad, but relieved that he is no longer suffering. God bless Charlie and Shelley for the care and love they gave him. Love, Mauri
