Obituary for Curt Neild
Curtis (Curt) Neild
With broken hearts we announce the death of Curt Neild. Curt passed away surrounded by his family at PRHC Peterborough on Friday, December 4, 2020, in his 73rd year. He leaves behind his wife of 49 years, Linda Neild (nee Howson) who was honoured to be his wife.
Cherished Father to Christopher Neild (Stephanie), Wesley Neild (Angela Little), Bradley Neild (Sheylene Nichols-Jackson). Proud and devoted Grandpa to Taylor, Brennen, Kole, Ryleigh, Daxter, Eason. Great Grandpa to Myla.
Curt was the beloved son of the late Gordon Neild and Barbara Neild (nee Davis.) Son-in-law to the late Cecil and Margaret Howson. Brother of Debbie Kearns (Joe) . Brother-in-law to Roger Howson and Beth Smith (Brian). Uncle to Leahann O’Brien, Miranda O’Brien, Kelly Millar and Katherine Wilson. Great Uncle to MacKenzie, Paige, Tye, Reid and Lyla.
Born in Port Chester, New York Curt lived in Bridgeport Connecticut before moving to Peterborough at age 7. Prior to retirement Curt was a long- time employee of the City of Peterborough – Public Works Department.
Most important to Curt was family. Quietly proud of his sons, and the men they had become, he never missed a chance to celebrate a holiday, family birthday or special occasion. His grandchildren meant the world to him. He treasured memories of trips taken with family.
An avid motorcycle enthusiast, Curt set aside his love of riding while he and Linda were raising their children. Returning to riding as a couple they enjoyed many trips with friends. Curt looked forward each spring to once again hitting the road on his Harley for trips and outings with friends who shared his love of riding. He highly valued the friendships, both old and new, formed during these times.
While Curt presented a gruff exterior to the world, he was a kind, caring soft spoken man with a dry sense of humour and simple tastes. He valued honesty, loyalty and integrity and was proud to see those values reflected in his sons.
Memorial visiting will be held at the Community Alternative Funeral Home, Ashburnham Chapel, 840 Armour Road on Saturday December 12th from 1:00PM - 4:00PM. In keeping with Curt’s wishes cremation has taken place and scattering of his ashes will take place later at a private family service.
If desired, expressions of sympathy or memorial donations can be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52.
