Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada October 13, 1943, to Norman S Cornish and Barbara E (Bain) Cornish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sid moved to Minneapolis MN with his family in 1945, then on to Seattle WA in 1947 and to Moclips, WA in 1953. In 1966, he changed his last name to honor his stepfather, Jess L Curtright, who was a Navy Ace Fighter Pilot in World War II and Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He graduated from Moclips-Aloha High School in 1961 and went on to WSU in Pullman that same year, graduating from their Veterinarian School in 1969. During college, he took a year off joining V.I.S.T.A., volunteering in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the mid 70\u2019s he purchased and operated Crossroads Veterinary Clinic in Bellevue WA. Afterward, he realized that the city life was not for him; he moved back to Moclips and opened TAMS (Traveling Animal Medicine Show) at Hogan\u2019s Corner in Ocean Shores WA, during May of 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While at TAMS, the State of Washington granted permission for him to help rescue and rehabilitate wildlife within region 6. He was able to help and return several seal pups and feathered friends to their mothers in their natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After closing TAMS, he went back to work in the family business at Ocean Crest Resort from which he retired in 2021. He was also very much involved in service to the community and was able to help many residents and guests with concerns about their animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He loved the summer months when he could assist the Quinault tribe with their canoe races. That was always the highlight of his year. He will most be remembered for his love of animals and the people around him. Some may think him a Saint, but we may know him as Brother Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was a great help with the Kelpers Labor Day Festival activities including the Shake Rat Competitions, and loved doing whatever he could to support the Museum of the North Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is survived by his partner Zona Nelson; sisters, Barbara Matson, Shari Curtright and brother, N Robert Curtright; daughters, Martha Patricia Curtright, Elizabeth (Curtright) Osbun, Anpo Charging Thunder, Darcy Gray, and numerous nephews, nieces, grandchildren and great grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be a Celebration of Life on June 3rd, 2023, at the Pacific Beach Community Center from 11:00am \u2013 3:00pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
