Charles Calvin Red Curtis, Sr.

We are deeply saddened to share that Red passed away late Tuesday morning at the age of 90 years old. Red never needed to say very much because it was clear by his actions how much he loved his high school sweetheart, Rosella, how important family was to him and how much he cherished Montana. He was larger than life in many ways. Reds childhood was marked by the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma, he went on to serve our country as a member of the military police during the Korean War. He then worked on the Northern Pacific Railway and still built a business with Chuck and Rosella at the Old Paris Flea Market before retiring to Gardiner and the Blue Goose. While we have lost a legend, we all know that Red and Rosella are finally having a Canadian and water together again.
