I met Curley at WF Bank and that first impression was one that will last a life time. "Hello, my name is Curley Allen, now i want you to remember my name everytime I walk in." I was terrified lol because I had a hard time remember ALL my customer's names. But his was one I never forget from that day forth, as well as all the special things he did to show his appreciation for those of us that truly cared about him as a person not just "another customer". You will be greatly missed Curley Allen! My prayers are with all his friends and family! He will never be forgotten!!! Deena Slawson Wells Fargo Bank
