Curtis Pedersen, 87

U.S. Army veteran and man of many talents. An avid outdoorsman, Curtis could often be found fishing Montana's finest spots — he knew them all. He was an incredible scroll saw artist, and ping pong legend. 

Curtis became a beloved resident of the Montana Veterans Home, where he charmed everyone with his competitive spirit and newfound love of BINGO. 

Curtis is survived by his children, Pati (Mike), Leslie, Layna (John), Dan, Mike and families. 

He was preceded in death by his wife, Melba; daughter, Laureen; parents, Wilferd and Elsine; brother, Eugene, and sister, Marylou. 

The family will hold private services. Donations in his memory can be made to the Humane Society. 

Curtis will be remembered for his adventurous spirit and sharp wit.
