Listen to Obituary
Curtis Layman Sink, 92, passed away on Tuesday, September 21, 2010.
He was born on June 22, 1918 in Rocky Mount, Virginia to Owen Henry and Lydia Sink and was preceded in death by his parents, brother Denton (Pat) and son Steve Henry Sink.
He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Elene Flora Sink; sons Glen and wife Diane, Don and wife Peggy; daughter Jean Chitwood and husband Mike; daughter-in-law Susan Sink; grandchildren Dennis Sink and wife Betty, Dina Golding and husband Matt, Glenda Sink, Scott Sink and wife Mendy, Julie Sink, Lisa Sink, Curtis Sink, Leslie Sink, Jacob Chitwood and Lydia Chitwood; great grandchildren Rachel Sink, Joshua Sink, Jeremiah Sink, Sydney Golding, Lyndsey Golding and Mekinsley Sink. He is also survived by sister-in-law Marlyn Sink and nieces and nephews Teresa Agnew and husband Joe, Terry Sink and wife Linda, Jane Hudgins and husband Jeff, Ben Sink and wife Jill, and Joanna Sink.
Curtis began his working life at Garst Brothers Dairy and then Norfolk and Western Railroad, and he delighted in telling stories from his railroading days. In 1944, he returned to the family farm where he and his brother Pat ran a successful dairy operation for more than 60 years.
He was a deacon and life-long member of Germantown Brick Church of the Brethren and was a much-loved mentor to many in that community.
At the end of every day, Curtis could be seen, ramrod straight, striding from the dairy barn to his house. He was a man of the land, a quiet observer of the seasons who took pride in a straight corn row, tight wire fences and a day’s work well done.
Funeral services will be conducted from Germantown Brick Church of the Brethren 2:00 P.M. Thursday, September 23, 2010 with Pastor Bruce Huffman officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to Germantown Brick Church of the Brethren at 2363 Brick Church Road, Rocky Mount, Va. 24151. Friends may call after 3 pm Wednesday with his family receiving friends from 6-8 pm at Flora Funeral Service and Cremation Center, Rocky Mount
