Our family just lost a major link in the chain on Tuesday, October 6th, 2020. When Curtis Wayne Knigge, also known as "papa", "Curt", and "dad" died from natural causes.

He migrated from California to Houston, Texas where he met and married his wife of 43 years, Alma also known as Suki. He had one daughter, Vanessa.

Curtis's career was in construction all his life which he started from the ground up. All that knew him called him kind, thoughtful, generous, and he had a quick wit.
