Curtis was a very adventurous soul. He traveled to California as a young man to 
visit relatives and enjoyed the vineyards, mountains and the scenery. He later 
enlisted in the United States Army and became a paratrooper in the 82nd 
Airborne Division. After his service to his country, Curtis received an 
Honorable Discharge. Curtis enjoyed the thrill of jumping from airplanes and 
the comradeship of the men in his unit. He held many jobs and decided that his 
love for antiques and garage sales could be profitable. Curtis opened up a 
Thrift Store for several years and enjoyed his many customers, friends and  
acquaintances.

He leaves to cherish his memories Miss Lois Batiste, his life- long loving 
companion and her family of Patterson, LA;  two brothers, Harold William Gobert 
of Patterson, LA and Wayne Calvin Gobert of Kenner, LA; thirteen nieces, four 
nephews as well as many close friends and other family members. Curtis also 
enjoyed the company and friendship of Len Klutts, Charlie Polk and Andrus 
Lecompte for many years. Curtis always knew what he wanted and made sure he 
acquired it, in this he lived a full and happy life.

Curtis was preceded in death by his parents, Curtis Anthony Gobert, Sr. and 
Beulah Guillory-Gobert; his daughter, Tony Mouton Gobert; four sisters, 
Jeanette Gobert,  Leatrice Gobert-Verdun, Shirley Gobert-Verdun and Ruby
