Kurt was a great friend to Mark and I. He helped me anytime I would call, always there! Last time we spent time together was at the Pink Floyd tribute band in Hamilton when nobody wanted to go. Had a fabulous time. I will truly miss my friend.

Kurt and I always sang the Star Spangled Banner on the July 4th family gatherings on the river in Wrightsville, Ohio. Good Memories. RIP my cousin and friend. God bless you. -Sandy Chapman
