He was preceded in death by lifelong love, wife Gale Carswell, father Archibald Carswell, mother, Laura Carswell and stepmother Joyce Carswell.
He was born on Feb. 4, 1936. He grew up on O‘ahu and was a graduate of Punahou High School, Class of ’53. He went on to attend Stanford University, where he was an all-star, an all-American, and later nominated as an all-century football player. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering and a minor in geology. After college he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and trained in judo, earning his black belt.
In 1963, he moved to Kaua‘i with wife Gale of 55 years. He worked for Grove Farm Corporation before taking a job with Princeville Corporation on the North Shore of Kaua‘i.
In 1978, he and Gale started Po‘oku Stables along with the famous Hanalei Stampede Rodeo. He was responsible for opening the first athletic club on the island, Kaua‘i Athletic Club, which he ran for almost 30 years.
He was also president of the Hawai‘i Cattlemen’s Cooperative in the early 2000s and played an important role in the cattle industry in Hawai‘i. Curly was very involved in the Koke‘e Leaseholder’s Association, helping to preserve trails and signage, and was integral in helping renew cabin leases with the state.
Curly was a leader in the community. He was an entrepreneur, Marine, engineer, avid handball player and a rancher. He was an adventurer, and always met life head-on with passion, curiosity and enjoyment. He faced the circumstances of life without apology or complaint, and lived such a full life that he is often described as having lived “nine lives.”
