Curtis Guyer

Curtis William “Curt” Guyer, 67, of Northford, passed away on Jan. 4, 2024, just before midnight, after a prolonged battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Curtis was the son and only child of Edith (Tess) C. Guyer and the late Donald W. Guyer.

Born in Fall River, Massachusetts, Curt moved with his parents to North Branford in time to attend kindergarten (or first grade) and has resided in town ever since. An extremely unique individual, Curt had a “green thumb” and chose farming as his life’s vocation. After graduating from high school, he went on to own and work several farms.

Curtis never seemed to be angry; however, he did enjoy a good “argument.” Having been an avid reader all of his life and having an extensive knowledge of history, culture, geography, language, and politics, he was able to engage people and then “hold his own” in many a discourse with his friends or even people he had just met. With a superb sense of humor, Curt both enjoyed laughing and making people laugh. He had a quick, dry wit and liked to interject puns into the conversation whenever possible. Curtis liked music and enjoyed singing loudly (the louder, the better) with his friends, whatever the key, regardless of whether or not he knew all the words. He was always willing to take the time to chat (or sing) while sharing a “cold one” (Busch, of course). Although seemingly adverse to technology, Curt did, in later years, teach himself to “day trade” on the computer and really liked buying and selling stocks, especially when he could claim he had a “really great day” in the stock market.

Curtis, a confirmed bachelor, left no children of his own but did leave the world a more interesting, more humorous, and a better and more verdant place for all those who knew him.
