Edward Curtis , 84, of Minster, England, passed on January 20th, 2021.

Eddie was born on April 22nd 1936.

Eddie was a man of many talents and worked hard his whole life. He taught us all to not take life too seriously and to laugh a lot. He will always be remembered for his funny jokes and stories, as well as his knowledge on birds.

"Grandad. You were the best friend I'd always wanted and the father I never had. Fly high up there among those beautiful birds and keep on joking. I'll have the kettle on and biscuits ready for when we meet again. I love you Papi." - Amber Harder (Rowe)

"It's never a goodbye, it's a see you again. It's just the beginning and to keep watching Predator for me. " - James Rowe

"To my Grandad, you will forever be in our family's memories because every word you spoke was memorable and extremely funny. You wore many hats including comedian, hard worker, artist, story-teller, Dad, Grandad and Great-Grandad, and I will always tell my children how great you were. I will teach them what you taught me when I was younger and pass on your jokes. I miss you and love you." - Chloé Rowe

"Grandad was always so funny. His best joke was “ I sat in traffic once floe, I got run over” I love you grandad and I’ll never forget everything you’ve taught us! Fly high and mighty with the birds and let me know when you see me!” - Ellis Rowe

"I am sending a dove to Heaven with a parcel on its wings. Be careful when you open it, it's full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs. To say how much I miss you, and to send you all my love. I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain. To walk with me throughout my life, until we meet again." - Roseanne Rowe
