Nick Curwell ZS1ZD

Nick Curwell was a very private person, and he never shared any details of his family, but Nick we did know he had a brother and two sisters. Married to Ingrid (‘Inge’) for many years, Nick was devastated when he lost her several years ago to medical problems. He then decided to sell up and move to Uniondale, a part of the country he had always had a liking for.

Nick became quite reclusive in a way renovating his big old house in Uniondale, only coming into Cape Town maybe once a year to visit the CTARC’s flea market in March, and to look in on his tenant who lived in his apartment in Woodstock.

Nick was an officer and a gentleman, always courteous and polite, very erudite, capable of intelligent conversation on just about any subject under the sun, and the world is poorer without him. Nick was a very kind soul and helped anyone who needed, sacrificing his time and often money he didn’t have.

His wit was second to none and often his very English upbringing came through in his sense of humour. The articles Nick wrote for this magazine several years ago were of such a high standard and intelligence with his sense of humour had us laughing in the aisles.

We will miss you Nick, and we wish you peace and hope you are now once again with your beloved Inge.
