Sad to hear of the passing of animation producer-director Bob Curtis. And it's also sad when I think that though I worked with Bob on many shows, I never really got to know the man well. He was the producer of two seasons of Garfield and Friends and one of Mother Goose & Grimm, two shows I worked on for CBS. For the same studio (Film Roman) he did the same fine job on other programs, most notably the acclaimed Bobby's World.
He was very skilled at his job and though shouldering great responsibility and putting in long hours, I never heard him yell, never saw him lose his temper. I also do not recall not being pleased with anything he ever did. All of that added up to him being liked and respected by his colleagues. Condolences to Jeudi (his wife of sixty years) and to his sons Jeff and Kevin. He was one of the best.
