CURT JENKINS….TRULY AMONGST THE BEST OF HUMANKIND…..TRULY…..

CURT’S KIND, ALWAYS-POSITIVE DEAMEANOR WAS INFECTIOUS, AND WILL REMAIN HIS LEGACY FOR ME. HE WOULD NEVER FAIL TO ASK ABOUT MY FAMILY FIRST, WITH A KNACK OF REMEMBERING AMAZING DETAIL WITH GENUINE SINCERITY….

I WAS TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE MET CURT OVER 25 YEARS AGO AT WORK IN THE MALE DOMINATED FINANCIAL BROKERAGE INDUSTRY; AND AS I ENJOYED AND MAINTAINED MY OWN AMONGST MY MALE COLLEAGUES, IT WAS UNIQUELY CURT, WHO WOULD FULLY RESPECT AND ENCOURAGE ME IN MY CHOSEN CAREER—HE WAS A RARE, EQUALITY-MINDED AND CONFIDENT MAN OF HIS GENERATION. …..TRULY….ALSO, IT DIDN’T GO UNNOTICED THAT HE WOULD SPEAK ONLY WONDERFUL THINGS OF HIS BELOVED WIFE LORY, AND HOW MUCH THEY ENJOYED THEIR TIME TOGETHER.

HIS HUMBLE, HUMOROUS INTELLECT REVEALED AN EXTRAORDINARY GIFT OF VARYING HOBBIES AND INTERESTS— FROM AVIATION TO ORCHIDS (AT WHICH SIGHT I AM ALWAYS REMINDED OF HIS INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE CONVERSATIONS)…. A TRUE RENAISSANCE MAN…A TRUE STORYTELLER….

CURT JENKINS….AN AMAZING, CARING AND KIND FRIEND THAT WILL SORELY BE MISSED, BUT ALWAYS WITH A SMILE AT EACH RECOLLECTION….BECAUSE HE WOULD ONLY HAVE WANTED IT THAT WAY….TRULY…
