Curtis Larkin Sloan, born 10/26/20 went to rest in God’s glorious Kingdom on 10/19/13. He will be terribly missed by his wife of 67 years, Edna Sloan, and daughters, Marsha Doss (Randy), Sheila Crawford (Michael), Vera Pascal (Gre Read Obituary
I remember Curt and Edna as kind and generous people..and funny. Curt had nicknames for his kid's friends... He always called me "Cathy Lou" and that nickname seemed to stick. This has brought up so many fond memories.
My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Curt was a good guy. My dad Lew and the rest of the Gratzer familys were proud to have the Sloans as neighbors. May God be with you. Earl Gratzer
Curt accepted me as a son in law in 1996. It was an incredible honor to hear him call me son. I loved him as my own father. I think the main thing that struck me about him was the fact that although he never enjoyed his time in WWII or even talked about it much was the fact he along with so many other young people of that time did the job they were called to do then put down the tools of war and came home to pick up the tools of citizenship to rebuild our nation. He, along with Edna raised three fine girls and he will live on through them and his grandchildren. He loved us all unconditionally and my heart aches at the thought of not having him around and to hear him say to me "What's happening Mikey babe" Love you Dad and miss you so
Dad was an incredible man. He was always friendly to everyone he met. He gave his children and grand children security, love, support, encouragement and many times came through like a super hero when it was least expected. When my daughter was just 3 years old, I bought a small house for the two of us in Sumner. Dad, who was my super hero and being the compassionate man that he was, began building a garage that attached to the house. In no time at all, the garage was completed with an automatic garage door and everything!
Before retiring, he was an engineer working on boilers at the St. Regis Paper Company (later becoming Simpson). He was a do-it-yourself guy who knew how to make his own air compressor from scraps that he would find laying around. He could repair anything and make it work again. He also made beautiful knives with deer horn handles, rings from metal nuts and worked on his scroll saw making wooden ornaments and decor. Dad was a very practical person with a great sense of humor and would pride himself in making us all laugh.
He was brought up during the depression and was a Veteran of WWII in the Timberwolf's 104th Infantry Div. Dad was born 10/26/20. He was just a few days short of his 93rd birthday.
My Dad married my Mom, Edna, when she was just 18 years old. The two of them bought a piece of property that had a old berry pickers' shack on it and called that home. Dad worked hard to create the home they lived in for the past 67 years.
