I miss Curtis as a great professional, great colleague and very down to earth person. I had the opportunity of working with Curtis on several ATN related certifications and everytime it was a great experience. He was a great asset to Rockwell and all of us who worked with him over the years. We sadly miss him today and feel the pain your family must be dealing with. May Curtis RIP.

My deepest sympathies to Curtis' family and friends. I did not have the pleasure to work with Curtis recently, but I met him some years ago, and he made a lasting impression on me then. He was as good natured and friendly as he was bright - and Curtis was extremely bright. Curtis was such an absolute pleasure to know. You must miss him greatly. Thoughts and prayers for Curtis, his family and friends. - Steve Ferra -

My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Curtis. I had the pleasure of getting to know Curtis over the last 5 or so years. I especially got to know him best at RTCA SC 214 meetings. I found him to be a really wonderful, good person. I will miss him. My prayers go out to Curtis and his family.

Curtis and I started to work together in year 2000 on international projects, he was in the US, I am in Europe and I sadly miss him today. For many years while dealing with work challenges, we spent hours over the phone and also took the opportunity to talk about family, kids, hobbies and unfortunately bad illness. I will always remember Curtis as a very professional co-worker and respectful towards people, very positive and willing to progress issues. I would like to send all my support to his family. I will remember Curtis as a Friend. May he rest in peace.

I have been deeply hurt by the death of Curtis. Please accept the expression of my deepest sympathy. Dear Curtis, I have talked very often to you. We were together at many places but I have never realized that you have to go such a hard way. You were a strong however quiet man. When we went thru problems you have shown always a smile. Where ever I meet you, you were interested in everything. Maybe I could have pointed out you more, however, you will stay in my heart forever. Hartmut Villwock May 26, 2014

Curtis was certainly the perfect combination of sagacity and mercy. I’ve never worked very closely with him, but I’ve been fortunate to cross his path many times over the years. Although we may sometimes have had diverging views, working with him was always constructive and very rewarding. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. With my heartfelt condolences,

My deepest sympathies with the loss of Curtis. He will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear this. My prayers are with the family.

My sincere condolences. I was a great pleasure to work with him during several year. I will always remember how kind and professional he was. All my thoughts are going to his family. Rest in peace Curtis.

Blessings to all of you---Aunt Barb, Debbie, Nikki, Lori, family and friends, I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Curtis over the years but I feel like I knew him personally through his mother Barbara. The "son" rose and set in her eyes. She loved him dearly as did the rest of his family. Barbara spoke of what a wonderful son he was, loving father, husband and brother. Curtis will be missed by all who knew him. With Heartfelt Prayers and Sympathy Jeannie

As we move through the undulations of life, we all encounter many people. These encounters range from nearly instantaneous to a lifetime. There exist a special group of people that profoundly impact others regardless of the length of these encounters. It is evident to all who know him that Curtis Talbott belonged to this select group. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Curtis for 2 years. Patience, kindness, a drive to win, and eagerness to help are but a few of his many memorable traits. From my observation, Curtis reached the pinnacle of what most engineers strive to achieve. There is a class of technical issues for which "We need Curtis for this one!" is the refrain heard often from his co-workers. I am honored to have known Curtis and will miss him greatly. My deepest sympathy to his family and dear friends and pray that God will provide comfort to all those who grieve.

So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Curtis was always very patient, very knowledgeable , and always helpful. We will miss him greatly. We had a tradition during football season that every Friday he would wear a Chief's shirt and I would wear a Packer's shirt. We would discuss all things related to the Chief's and Packer's. I always enjoyed talking to Curtis. It was the nicest person and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts are prayers are with the family. God Bless you all.

Dear Lori and family, I had the pleasure to talking to Curtis a lot at the Ghosh Center. I gave him leg massages many times, and he always wanted Lavender fragrance. He was quiet, but always had a smile and I would tease him about getting his hair cut shorter! One time he did. I had been thinking of him on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at work and wondering how he was doing. He must have been saying goodbye to me, I know you are free of pain and suffering now Curtis, and know you will be watching over and guiding your family from above. I'm so sorry to all of you that knew Curtis much better than me, reading the other condolences, he was a wonderful person. May God give you strength, comfort and peace, just keep talking to God and Curtis and watch for signs he is going to give you that his spirit is still with you. Remember when you are looking at pictures, touching his clothes, remembering special moments, his spirit is with you right at that moment. Don't forget the "pennies from heaven" he will send you those when you need it the most, pick them up and keep them. I will be praying for your family.

WE ARE SO SAD TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS, MAY GOD BLESS AND CONFORT YOU, OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU

Curtis was an amazing person with a big heart. He would do anything for anyone, he was the kinda guy who would never judge anyone.He always treated me and my kids like family,He will be deeply missed. Granny and Debbie my prayers are with you and the rest of the family . If I can help with anything pls let me know.

I used to work with Curtis on an intense project and I was impressed by his strong involvement which contributed a lot in the success of this project. I will always remember how nice and joyful he was. All my thoughts are going to his family. Rest in peace Curtis, I will remember you forever.

Curtis was such a great guy. I was so sad to hear of his passing. I only have good memories of Curtis - always cheerful at work and so kind to everyone he talked to. He was a stand up guy and treated everyone with respect. He never complained about anything. He also went out of his way to thank me for helping him at work. He made sure I knew that he appreciated the things I did and that made an impression on me. The last time I saw Curtis he was enjoying himself with his wife, Lori at The Rock of Ages show at the Paramount downtown Cedar Rapids for Valentine's Day. I'll miss you, Curtis. Rest in peace, buddy.

Curtis was an extraordinary person, always kind and helpful. He was extremely intelligent yet modest and most willing to help. Sending his family all the strength and prayers they need during this time. Rest in Peace Curtis, you will be missed forever.

our heart and prayer,s go out to all of curt,s family. he will be missed & loved forever.

My sincere condolences to Nikki, Lori, Debbie and family!! My heart is hurting for you all with the loss of your dad, husband, brother, etc... When I first met Curtis, I referred to him as "Nikki's dad!" Which you could tell was the one title he was very proud to wear! "Nikki's dad" was one of the kindest persons I've ever met. I always enjoyed chatting with him at Nikki and Caitlin's tennis matches. Praying for God's peace and comfort in the days ahead.

I was honored to have the opportunity to work with Curtis for almost 3 years. I can fully say without reservation that he would be a number one draft pick in every sense of the word. He was kind to everyone he worked with, passionate about the things he did, and always was willing to take the time to teach the things that he knew to newer engineers. I will be forever in his debt for him taking the time to walk me through many topics patiently and completely. I cannot remember a time when he was without a smile on his face, he brightened the room by his presence. God Bless your Family during this time of loss.

Reading these messages I can only agree that Curtis was an extraordinary person. A good son, father, provider and friend. He stepped softly and with an important purpose in his life. I admired him and feel heartbroken for those who loved and depended on him for strength, joy and love. God's Blessings to all he left behind and welcome joy to all his loved ones who greet him in heaven.

You will be sadly missed by all of us.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Nikki, I'am sorry for your lose, I know how important your father is, was and always will be to you. Just remember how much he loved you, and that he will always be with you,and the rest of your family.

I met Curtis twice during a one week business trip from France to Cedar Rapids. I remember a smart person happy to share experience and knowledge. I could as well appreciate his high level of competency. I would like to pay hommage to him and wish to his family a lot of courage. We will all remember the smart and clever engineer he was.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Debbie, I know how much you love Curtis and how much you will miss him, as will the rest of the family.

Curtis was the most giving guy you could ever hope to know and work with. Always willing to help with anything and give you more of his time than he had to give. He was also incredibly conscientious about always doing the right thing and making sure it got done. I thank God that you came into Curtis' life Lori, to be with him these past few years when he needed you. God bless you Curtis and everyone that loves you.

Curtis was the best guy I ever knew. If my son was to describe him, he would say was my BFF. There is a song that says "only the good die young". I think that especially is true for Curtis. His motto was "Always Believe". He always believed in the things he loved most, his daughter, Nikki and his wife Lori. I will miss him more than words can say. I will always believe that from now on Curtis is watching over all of us. He also will be cheering for his beloved Chiefs from heaven.

Words cannot express how sad we feel or how sorry we are. Lori you've been a wonder, a Godsend... one of those special people we all hope for in our lives and I hope that you will let people be your care takers and help you through this. That you have been through it all with Curtis brings peace and comfort to his friends and we thank you and love you.
