We were so sorry to hear of Kurt's suddeen passing. He was such a great guy and had such a dry sense of humor. You exactly what he was thinking from just a look or just one word. My sister and I went to BYU with him and have seen him and stayed in touch over the years even being so far away. He was a good friend. Our thoughts and prayers got to his family .

Barb and I extend our condolences to Kurt's family. Kurt was a joy to know. He had a great dry dry sense of humor. He was always helpful -- trying to do things for people. He was a keen observer (and commenter!) on politics and policy and was always right (never, ever left!). There is a great gap left in many lives now and many mourn -- but we look forward to greeting him again and sharing a laugh. Our prayers go out to you.

Sheri, Jim & Tom,

Well, my dear friend, your aches and pains are over with. You are now laughing and skipping (if you want to, of course) with beloved family who greeted you upon your arrival. The sudden departure was a blessing because it saved lingering and prolonged suffering, but it sure gave us a shock and we will miss you terribly. Calm, beautiful, sweet Kurt. I never heard you raise your voice once in the more than 25 years I knew you. I will miss our gabfest every spring. It was a highlight for me. I'll see you again and we will talk. Love, Bobbette
P.S. Sherri, You have a lifetime appointment with me. For anything. Call me. Hugs.
