JAMES F.,on Monday, August 13, 2001; beloved husband of Grace Curtis (nee Hill); dearest father of Karen Faye Bokan, Sharon Kay Rodgers (Leonard), Larry Curtis (Patrina), Kim Brand (Kenny), Patti Nantz (Bob), Jeff Curtis (Sara) and the late James Richard Curtis and Shirley Ann Curtis; dear grandfather of Anthony and Elizabeth Rodgers, Christopher and Derek Curtis, Nathan and Becky Brand and Aaron Nantz; dear brother of Pauline Townsend, Brenda Bay and Herbert, Hulen and Earl Curtis. Rev. Curtis was the founding pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle and its pastor for 46 years. Funeral service at the Full Gospel Tabernacle, 404 West 4th St., Eureka, MO, Thursday, August 16, 2 p.m. Interment Bethel Cemetery. Visitation at HOFFMEISTER -KRIEGSHAUSER EUREKA Chapel, 108 North Central Ave., Wednesday, 2-9 p.m. When the Rev. James F. Curtis had to abandon his church and home due to flooding and dioxin contamination in Times Beach, he rebuilt his church and his life in Eureka. "He just didn't want to give up," said the Rev. Dwight Barton, retired pastor of Hope Assembly of God Church in St. Louis. "He didn't want to quit preaching, so he just got everything together and rebuilt." A funeral service for the Rev. Mr. Curtis, founding pastor of Eureka Full Gospel Tabernacle, was held Thursday at his church. Interment was at Bethel Cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Curtis died Monday (Aug. 13, 2001) of complications from cancer and heart disease at his home in Eureka. He was 71. A native of Greenfield, Tenn., the Rev. Mr. Curtis moved to Conran, Mo., with his family as a child. He and Grace Hill Curtis were married in 1948 and the couple worked together on a farm. In 1952, the family moved to Valley Park. In 1955, he founded Full Gospel Tabernacle, holding services at various locations. Two years later, he bought a building in Times Beach and renovated it into a church. Their congregation grew over the years until Meramec River flooding destroyed the building two days before the church's 25th anniversary celebration. The Curtises abandoned their home and their church when the city of Times Beach was closed for fear of dioxin contamination. In 1984, the Rev. Mr. Curtis established his church in Eureka. He served as pastor at Eureka Full Gospel Tabernacle until he retired earlier this year and his son, the Rev. Larry Curtis of House Springs, took over. In addition to his wife and son, survivors include four daughters, Karen Bokan, Sharon Rodgers and Patti Nantz, all of Eureka, and Kim Brand of Fenton; another son, Jeff Curtis of Catawissa; two sisters, Brenda Bay of New Florence, Mo., and Pauline Townsend of New Madrid, Mo; three brothers, Herbert Curtis and Hulen Curtis, both of St. Clair, and Earl Curtis of Coweta, Okla; and seven grandchildren.4 |

In recent years, he became an enthusiastic fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and rarely missed watching their televised games. Above all else, Herb was a family man and he was proud of each of his children and grandchildren and was happiest when he was spending time with them. A devoted and loving father, father-in-law, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend, he will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
