Mr Terry Curtis was a well-known businessman in Findon Valley having run Curtis & Son estate agents for over forty years. Terry had always been interested in properties when he lived in London and having moved to Worthing in 1961 decided to go into estate agency and started to work for Street & Maurice. He then joined Bernard Tucker & Son, in Chapel Road, Worthing, eventually working his way up to become a partner with them. He had always wanted to run his own business and so it was on August 16th 1976 that Terry, together with his wife Pat, opened their own estate agency in King’s Parade, Findon Valley. Terry was highly respected by his fellow agents. Indeed, he was a mentor to many over the years. Quite a few of these agents worked for Terry and have since gone on to run their own successful estate agencies. It has been said that Terry Curtis was truly one of the last gentleman estate agents. Terry enjoyed an active life outside the business. He was a keen badminton player and golfer. With his wife Pat, they pursued their interest in travel and their highlight was a round the world trip. He was a wonderful father to Stephen, Jane and Sarah and a loving grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed. Terry Curtis 1929-2019
