My father, John Curtis, who has died aged 89, lived a varied life, much of it in public service, helping to implement disabled people’s rights.
Born in Kettering, Northamptonshire, John was the son of Annie (nee Houghton) and Arthur Curtis, who ran a grocery store. He had many memories of providing rations to local people in the war years from their shop in Kingsthorpe Hollow.
John went to Northampton grammar school, but during the second world war, at the age of 15, John literally threw away his school cap and signed up with the Northamptonshire Regiment. He served 12 years in Germany, Trieste, Hong Kong and Korea. He was a member of the regimental band, playing the tuba, which he learned in the army. He later recorded some of his military band experiences in a book and wrote articles for the International Military Music Society.
