In Memoriam - Curtis Bulgerin

The end of last year brought heavy hearts to all of us here at Carpenter and Langford with the passing of Curtis Bulgerin in December. Curtis served as our Tax Manager and had been with us for more than twenty years. He brought a wealth of both accounting and managerial experience to the firm. We benefitted deeply from this knowledge and expertise, and, more importantly, from his earnestness in sharing them with younger members of the staff as they grew into their careers.

Personally, Curtis is remembered as a quiet man who nonetheless made a strong, positive impact on so many people, especially family. He and his wife Sharon first met in high school, and they had been married for 44 years. Curtis and Sharon had three children and seven grandchildren. Curtis’ favorite role, without question, was being “Papa” to all those grandchildren. Aside from family, his passions were playing tennis and watching his Texas Tech Red Raiders play football.

The deep sense of loss Curtis’ passing has left will be lasting. We will do our best to honor his memory and legacy, personally and professionally. For those wishing to commemorate Curtis’ life and memory, his family is requesting that donations be made in his honor to the American Kidney Fund.
