So very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Curtis. I always enjoyed watching him reporting the news. RIP

This was truly an amazing person with so much talent the loss is clearly ours.  Prayers fill our hearts and burst forth from our mouths to God asking him to let us remember clearly the love we have for this wonderful person gone from our lives never forgetting the joy we shared. Hebrews 6:10.

We are so saddened to read of Chet's passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to Chet's family. I am a relative (cousin) of Chet's on his father's side. May he Rest in Peace.

Chet made the Ithaca College Radio-TV class of 1960 proud.  He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy for your loss.  James 4:8 draw close to God and he will draw close to you.

Hi this is for Natalie, where you were married to Chet for many years. Your children too. I know even though a divorce, the love never leaves. Bless the family of Chet.

my husband and I would like to send our condolences to Natalie and the family may he rest in peace

A true gentlemen and journalist. You will be missed.

Chet was always my favorite newscaster.  The team of Chet and Nat was unbeatable.  My prayers are with the family.  
The sight of Natalie weeping at the funeral will always remain in my heart.

truly sorry for your loss. I watched him on the news everynight

Please except our sadness at your time of lost what I found comforting is recorded at John 11: 25, 26. May these words comfort you.
Sincerely, 
PC

Just adding. He was such a great man. I never realized he lived in Quincy. I have a pancreas problem. I can see he had to suffer some pain. To Kerry, I didn't know your name. My sympathy to all. Even Natalie, even though a marriage breaks up, your love doesn't. I think it's Lindsey who was born around the same time as my daughter. He was one superb anchorman. I remember seeing the team of Chet and Natalie always. My sympathy to the family and friends.

My sincere condolences to Kerry and The Curtis Family. May your fond memories of Chet help heal your saden hearts.

I remember watching you while growing up in the 1970's-1980s.  You will be missed.
Kim Hoover, Woodbridge, Virginia

Dawn, Dana, Lindsay and Kerry, I am deepely saddened by your loss. Chet was a childhood friend and neighbor on Jay Street. We were classmates throughout our school age years. I remember him performing on Teen Age Barn in Schenectady almost every Friday. A great entertainer, singer, and very humble person. When visiting my wife's gravesite at St. Stanislaus i surely will stop to say a prayer or two for on old Friend Chet. In our heritage language I say, "Spoczywaj w pokoju" which means "Rest In Peace" Bob Reidy

An Icon ... Growing up watching Chet on channel 5 was a part of my life.. He and Natalie were the Camelot for the News on Channel 5.   A gentlemen and class act. 
Rest In Peace Chet Curtis
You will be missed by so many

Boston has lost a brother and the world of journalism has been robbed of its consummate professional.
Chet Curtis and Natalie Jacobsen were the best of the best. Rest in peace sweet man. We will miss you. Love, Sandy, Linda and Bobby Thomas

In fact, he is not far off from each one of us. Acts 17:27

Thank you for the many years of watching you and Natalie deliver the news after a hard day at work. You were the ying and yang and back then the world made sense. You will be missed. My deepest sympathies to your loving family.

Chet---May God Bless you for
your hard work and dedication
to your daughters.  I always
watched your news briefs and all the shows on TV that you 
did. You made your mark that we will all remember.
You were a wonderful person. Rest in Peace in Heaven.

I grew up with Chest and Natalie in my home and living room .They felt like a part of my family. Sorry to the family for your loss. I feel like a part of my past is gone.

I grew up with Chet and Natalie. God bless your family. You will meet again. Deborah...Newburyport

Watching Chet and Nat deliver the news was so comforting and reassuring.  No matter what was happening, they were the constants and could disseminate the news with confidence and clarity.  

He was a great guy and a one of a kind broadcast journalist.  My sincerest condolences to his family.

My first (news) Floor Director job (1966) was running the teleprompter and cueing Chet weekdays on Newsday at 1PM on WTOP-TV, Washington, DC.
I remember when he told me he was leaving the station...that he was hired at WCBS-TV in New York.
You could tell then that he was a first-rate talent (with class)and was always well-liked by all who knew him.

I want to give my sincere condolences to the curtis family. We will miss your dad very much. He was a great reporter and anchor man who always gave the news in such a delicate way as if he was telling a story. I also enjoyed seeing Natalie and chet helping out with the muscular dystrophy telethon and how friendly he made people feel. We will miss chet curtis. Rest in peace.

I grew up watching Chet & Nat.  I remember watching the birth of their daughter.   Chet may you rest in peace.

I grew up watching Natalie and Chet. They made even the bad news more bearable to hear.   My deepest sympathies to you  Natalie and your family.
 Thank you Chet and may you rest in peace.

Sorry for your families loss. May Ecclesiates 7:1 bring you and your family comfort.

I grew up watching Chet Curtis on television. Such a wonderful and genuine man. God Bless his family, and God Bless Chet Curtis. My condolences go out to Natalie Jacobson as well. What a wonderful woman and mother. His memory will live on forever. Love never dies.

I grew up watching Chet on Channel 5. Thoughts and prayers to his beloved girls and the entire Curtis family. R.I.P. Chet.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family & friends of Chet.  Many of us may not have known him personally, but felt like we did, as he & Nat joined us at suppertime each evening with our parents and grandparents.  I wonder how many kids he helped get their "current events" done for homework! A wonderful gentleman, newscaster will be missed, may he be in pain no more, rest in peace.

We mourn  the loss of Chet. He will be forever
in our hearts and mind.

Grew up watching him on channel 5.  the world is a better place because he was in it.  Will be missed by all.

Sincere condolences to the Curtis/Jacobson family and many friends.

DEAR Chet , although we are mourning your passing your  life contribution  and legacy are secure .
We will miss you but your spirit will give us  strengh

He was a Great Communicator for the WCBV News. Thank you very much for sharing. My prayers go to his family.

WE ALWAYS ENJOYED CHET AND NATALIE ON
CHANEL 5, OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY.....
MAY HE REST IN PEACE WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND TELL HIM GREAT STORIES..........FROM THE COGLIANOS ,WOBURN,MA.

My sincere condolences to the family. God cares and will guide you in your sorrow. 1 Pe. 5:7

New England has lost one of its most memorable and honest "sons". News has not been the same since the "Chet and Natalie" news changed years ago but his death is the final sign that it will certainly never be the same. Our prayers go to his family and to all who loved him. Death changes everything and time will change nothing. His caring ways, his voice, his presence will forever be missed.

May God Grant Mr. Curtis Family and Friends Comfort During This Time of Sorrow. Psalms 68:20

To the Curtis Family, extended family, and Kerry; I'm so very sorry to hear of Mr. Curtis passing I grew up watching him and he in a way became a family member in my home. His reporting was such that over time you knew to turn on channel 5 or NECN to get the truth in the news from Chet Curtis. The world lost a great man, and Heaven has gained an angel with a heart of gold.  May you hold your memories close to comfort you during this difficult time and know you guardian angel is always with you.  Your family is in my prayers.  Thank you for sharing Mr.Curtis with us all.

When I lived in Boston, we watched Chet and Nat nightly. They were a great team. I was so sorry to hear of his loss.  My sympathy goes to his family.

To Nat and the girls: He was taken too soon and suffered too long...he is at peace and will watch over you with his love. Hold onto the memories..my husband is gone eight years and there is not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. His love will shine on you. Sincerely,

I am so very sad and sorry for the loss of Chet Curtis.........a great man has entered into Heaven too soon. A lot of us grew up {from our 20's on} watching Chet and Natalie every night. Such a great man.......my heart, love and prayers are with Chet's three daughters, family and friends. God Bless you all and God Bless Chet...R.I.P. Chet and thank you for the many years in our living rooms nightly.

This has been somewhat of a ''long good-bye'' to Chet for those of us who reside ' on the 'other side of the screen.'  In some ways we lost him when the Chet/Nat team left TV.  The news has not been the same since then.  My condolences to Kerry, to his three daughters and to Natalie.  Truly, Love is never lost---but it does take a while to realize that when the one who is loved is no longer able to 'walk with us.''.

After life-long residency in Massachusetts, I and my husband, relocated to Florida in 2011. Our local newspaper, The Daily Sun, profiled Chet's passing as a 'notable death.' How true!

As baby-boomers, we grew up with Chet and Nat. When their family circumstances changed, we still enjoyed seeing Chet on NECN. 

Rest in peace Chet.

So saddened to hear of Chet's passing.Our deepest sympathy to the Curtis Family.Growing up in Boston,we never missed Chet and Natalie on the nightly news.He was a true professional and will be sorely missed.May he rest in Peace.

There are times in life when you are fortunate to have the opportunity to meet a very special person. A person you admire for all they have accomplished in their life and their contributions to so many. Chet Curtis is one of those people. He was a man who was very successful and yet remained humble and warm to all those he met. He was loved by all New Englanders for so many decades. There will never be another Chet and will always be remembered and missed by all.

To his family, I am sorry for your loss and offer you my deepest condolences. 

To my friend Chet, it was my honor to have you as my friend and will always cherish the memories. Rest in peace.

John R Anacleto

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We never met Chet personally, but we did experience his warm spirit from a short distance when we were at the Beth Israel Hospital Maternity Department  on Sunday May 24, 1981.  We watched him and Natalie preparing to leave the hospital with their new baby daughter.  He was so happy as he held his new baby.  He generously thanked everyone who came by to wish him well.  Some were nurses; some were doctors; some were aides and maintenance persons.  Of course we'll remember that day as our son's birthday, and we'll remember Chet's warm and outgoing spirit shown to everyone.  We pray that your sweet memories outpace your sadness.

Sincerely,
Jane and David Castiglioni (Quincy, MA)

RIP MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY. CHET WAS TRULY AN AMAZING PERSON.

From the first time we met 25years ago until the end you never changed.
Always a smile,kind words,many laughs.
You have always been a good friend and above all FIRST CLASS.
     R.I.P.
Love, Bob and Georgia

I remember watching chet on TV as I was growing up. Then about 9 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting him personally at  marina bay. We always started our conversations asking each other if we had been boating. It was his passion as is  mine. Chet was a one of a kind man. Always had a kind word and would help , all you had to do is ask. He will truly be missed.

  We have certainly lost a wonderful newscaster, as well as a wonderful human being. Chet epitomized the ultimate meaning  of a truly compassionate, caring, professional and dedicated man. 
 May he now rest in peace.
 My sincere condolences to all of Chet's family.
  Respectfully,
  Susan Canniff Gillis

the only newsman i have ever trusted.  his integrity will never be duplicated.  a wonderful man who will be sorely missed by every bostonian who is a fan of truth!!

 You were a great anchorman and reporter,   and  a friendly face to all of your Boston viewers.RIP Chet you will be missed.

Enjoyed watching him on Channel 5 for many years . My heart goes out to Natalie and their children .    God Bless ,   Niki French

Chet was a very good friend to my husband Paul and I thank you for his support when Paul died.  Paul told me how you would sing "Puff the Magic Dragon" to your kids when they were young.  Everything about you exuded warmth.  You are a great loss to so many who loved you.

I grew from a young adult to a senior with Chet.  If it came from Chet, it was credible.  You have reason to be so proud.  If your Dad was your role model, you're great gals.  He was loved by all of us.

God who is the provider of comfort is aware of your suffering and deep grief. He promises a time where these feeling will no longer be called to mind. Isaiah 65:17

The world has been shorted one great guy. Chet was the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with and be with. We will miss him.

I hope you find comfort in this time of your loss. Know that God is a God of comfort and tender mercies (1 Cor. 1:3  If you call on Him, He will turn His ear to you, and can provide you with the comfort needed during this time.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May our heavenly father provide strength and comfort to the family during this time of grief. "For he is near to those broken at heart". PS 34:17,18.

Watched and admired him for many years. He was the best..
J. Avonlea

Growing up in Boston Area: Chet Curtis, Natalie Jacobsen and company introduced by the equally legendary Ernie Anderson as the stirring NewsCenter5 theme "And You" hit the airwaves meant it was indeed 'News time in Boston' and you were going to get informed by the best in the biz for a quarter century/a half dozen U.S. presidencies, but my fondest memory of Mr. Curtis was his appearance on WCVB's kids show "Jabberwocky" in the early 1970s/early into his tenure in Newham and how warmly and wonderfully he interacted with Frank (the protagonist puppet on the show) talking about his job - it was awesome! We will all miss you, sir... A heartfelt Goodnight and Godspeed, Chet.  Condolences to your many friends and family.

I enjoyed watching Chet and Nat doing the anchor desk telling us NE news stories. Chet was a good anchorman.I  I grew up watching your father on the news, I enjoyed watching the news and other programs like the mda telethon, Boston Marathon, etc.  I will miss him. I was sad to hear of his passing. I am still faithfully watching channel five. My deepest sympathies to Nat and the Curtis Family

Nina DiLeo

My deepest sympathies to the Curtis girls and Natalie at this difficult time.

To the curtis family, your dad was a wonderful human being who shared his love, laughter and genuine kindness to all.  Our family was fortunate to have experienced this.  We will be forever grateful for the joy he brought to our daughter Jennifer and the sincere friendship to our family that we will remember

Hi I sent a message he was a great man. He and Nat had three beautiful daughters, who he ended up walking them all down the aisle. My best to your family. A death of any family member is hard. If you want a donation I can give a little. If you contact me so I give to the right organization. I learned he lived in Quincy in the end. I live in Quincy, MA.

Dear Curtis Family,

I was saddened to hear of Chet's death.  I never met him personally but he was part of my upbringing.  Do you know how when you are a child and you hear the news on and the person is just part of your life and your memories?  I am sorry that part of that is gone.  In 2007, I lost my mother and my father both and I know how you must be feeling.  I will be praying for you and I'm so sorry for your loss.  Please know that you are cared about.

Heidi A. Dietrich

Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your loved one. Let fond memories of him keep the family strong in the difficult days ahead. 1 Cor. 15:26

Dear Natalie and the Curtis girls,
I was devistated when I learned of Chet's passing.  He was loved by everyone.  Our condolances to the family.  May time heal your sorrow.  He will be missed by many.

I was very sad to read about Chet. Although I never met him personally, I thought I knew him through growing up watching Chet and Nat on the channel 5 evening news and watching them for many years as the local hosts of the Muscular Dystrophy telethon. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My recollection of Chet goes way back to Amsterdam NY when he was a young boy and would come over
 to my play with my cousin John who lived upstairs.  He was a cute kid with a mop of curly hair.  He and my cousin would walk to school together every day and one day he didn't come out of the house and John discovered that his father had just died.  I always remembered his sad story. I was always so happy to see how well he did in his career and watched he and Nat on the news each night.  My
condolences to his daughters.

Who needed Walter Cronkite?  We had Chet and Nat.

My husband and I met Mr. Curtis at the Comedy Connection a number of years ago. I was more excited to see him than the comedian. He couldn't have been nicer and the crowd gave him a standing ovation! I grew up with Chet and Nat. I am sure that his daughters and all of his family have many loving memories that will bring them comfort. God Bless you Mr. Curtis and Godspeed.

My deepest sympathies to the Curtis family. Alway's enjoyed watching the new's with Chet and Nat. Rest in Peace Chet!

Yes, Chet Curtis and Nellie were super together and I always watched their newscasts.  God bless you Chet and my deepest sympathy to all of his family.  
May you rest in peace and reach the grand reward in eternity.

"I always watched channel 5 with my grandmother,she always loved Chet and Natalie. Through her I watched them,they were wonderful.  I sorry for your loss,my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Curtis family.
