Curtis Henry Toombs, 74, passed away on Friday, July 9, 2010 after a short battle with cancer.
He was born in Piggit, Arkansas, on April 18, 1936 to Ira and Flora Elizabeth Wealthy.
Curtis worked as a boiler maker for the Local Union 74 for over 30 years. After his retirement he then worked for the City of Danbury in their Public Works Dept. and than he continued to serve the people of Danbury by working at the Danbury Food Market.
He graduated from Danbury High School and then joined the Army to serve his country as a Missile Specialist E4.
There seemed to be nothing that Curtis hadn’t done or couldn’t do, he was a man of many skills and talents.
He was a hard worker and loved working on the farm caring for the animals that he loved along with his nephew, Daniel Toombs.
Curtis lived a simple life yet he touched many lives through the kind things he did for others. He had many interests which included his roses, feeding/watching birds, gardening and cooking Barbeque.
He loved his country, family, friends, and community and never stopped giving, helping, and serving others. He was a dependable man that you could always count on.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and his nephew, Dale Toombs.
