Curtis J. Amodio

Curtis J. Amodio, 64 of Eltingville, passed away on Thursday, July 22, 2021, at Calvary Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Curtis was a wonderful man, always positive, even during his four plus years during his illness. He was the first person to step up in any situation when someone needed help or assistance of any kind. This earned him the nickname ''Batman''. Curtis was true to his word and lived his life his way. He was kind, loving and generous but also strong and tough. He was one of the lives of the party who was joined by many others. He loved deep but expected nothing in return. He was a humble soul. Everyone will remember him with a smile and a kind word. He was devoted to his family and always worked very hard for everything to provide for them. He earned a beautiful life for himself, his wife and sons. Curtis was an avid sports fan and enjoyed sharing his love for sports with his sons and friends. He loved the Yankees, Giants, Islanders, and Notre Dame. He was also a huge fan of music which crossed many genres from classic rock, country, and doo wop to name a few. He shared wonderful times with his wife and friends listening to music and going to many concerts. Curtis was a man who enjoyed the simple things in life but he himself was spiritually very deep and complex. He will be missed by so many who loved him dearly. For everything you stood for and for all you did to make everyone feel so loved and accepted please RIP Big Curt. Forever in our hearts. You will never be forgotten. Curtis was the beloved husband of 40 years to Christine. Cherished father to Christopher and Connor. Curtis is also survived by many loving family and friends.
