Richard “Rich” Thomas Curtin, Jr.
68, passed away January 12, 2019 in St. Augustine, FL. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Donna Curtin, his son Jason Curtin, daughter in law Lisa Curtin, granddaughter Makayla Curtin, grandson Conor Curtin, daughter Melissa Leski, son in law Joe Leski, granddaughter Samantha Leski, and grandson Brandon Leski. He is also survived by his sister Dorothy Heitzman and nephews David Heitzman, Paul Heitzman and Richard Heitzman and their families.
Richard was born June 14, 1950 in Lynn, Massachusetts. Over the last 40 years, he resided mainly in Clearwater, FL. He retired from the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County where he was instrumental in securing funds for many large projects- STEPS to a Healthier Pinellas, Communities Putting Prevention to Work and Partners to Empower Community Health. Almost 20 Million Dollars of CDC Grants were given to Pinellas County for these programs over the span of 13 years. He was very proud of this accomplishment. Upon retirement in 2018, he and Donna relocated to Waynesville, NC to enjoy the mountains and outdoors.
Those that loved and knew him will remember Richard as an avid Red Sox fan, an amazing cook and a passionate home brewer. He was loyal to his roots and proud to be an Irishman. He was a fiercely loyal friend and wanted nothing but the best for his family. He will be missed every day and will be forever in our hearts.
