Curtis Kardashian

Sadly, Curtis Kardashian has passed away too. His brother Clyde died recently. (See Nov 20 Blog) Curtis was Clyde's twin brother.

I did not know Curtis as well as Clyde. Curtis ran his own company and we often bid against one another. When we did work together -- as young men -- Curtis had a thousand stories, although, few of them were true. Curtis managed to tell stories while we were eating that did not involve the favorite trade themes -- job mutilations and excrement. He had fun at client's expense without being mean. He had a sly humor that none of my younger crew members have.

Curtis was a womanizer until he met his beloved Margot, a roofing contractor. They spent many happy years together. Margot died several years ago. May they, too, rest in peace.
