I met Cdr. Curtis when I went aboard the USS Gregory DD802 in the spring of 1959. I was a Radarman in the Ops Division. I remember him very well.

He will be missed by a large number of sailors.

Ted was a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of being his neighbor while I was in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. He had a steadfast way that was comforting. I learned many things about nature from him. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
