To Sandy,John Paul,and family
I am so sorry to here about Kurt's passing. When we were growing up in Thomaston CT. he was the one that pushed me to be better than i could.We shared so many good times before he moved away, but i never ever forgot about him.We lost contact after while but i thought about him often,but was never able to locate him.I was lucky enough to run into him about 6 years ago when he was up here and that was one of the best days i had had in some time,to see my old friend again.I will miss Kurt and miss the chance we might have had to catch up on old time..

Kurt was a man having a magnetic personality. It was always a pleasure to interact with Kurt at PO. He was indeed a one of a kind person. We were glad to have known him. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My heartfelt (and stunned) sympathy to all of Kurt's family. I never saw Kurt without a smile on his face and a mischievous gleam in his eyes, going all the way back to the time when we were kids. He is loved and missed by many.

Kurt was one of my closest friends. I'm very grateful to have 11 yrs of memories with Kurt. He loved his family, friends, and enjoyed life to the max. Kurt went out they way Kurt wanted to go out, he went out with his boots on. I believe Kurt left us singing " I Did it My Way".

Kurt was a man's man having a magnetic personality that drew many people to him. It was always a pleasure to interact with Kurt at PO and after hours. He was indeed a one of a kind person.

MY THOUGHTS TODAY:

KURT ... LOVE, ENERGY, WARMTH, LAUGHTER, JOY... Oh, to live the life one loves with such zest! When I hear thunder from a warm summer rain, I’ll think of Kurt riding his bike in all his glory across the sky and entering our hearts once again. Gram held out her arms to enfold him and all were joyous to greet him. He “did it his way ...” and all were happier for knowing him ... as a child ... as an adult. We'll miss you!

Kurt was a wonderful person and a friendly neighbor. Although, we only knew Kurt for a short period of time, we knew that he was a very caring and hardworking individual. We are so saddened that we did not get to know him better. It was evident that he had a love for dogs, motorcyles and life. We will miss him very much. Our sympathy and prayers go to Tina, Sandy and his family. We want you to know we are there for you.
