I wish that I could have been there to say goodbye. Thank you for being such a wonderful grandpa. I have so many special memories of us both down at the barn. I think one of my favorites is the blackcap bushes. I would try to wake up extra early so that I could beat you there and eat them all. You would never get upset, even if I ate the one you had your eye on. I can't help but smile thinking about it. I love you and miss you alot!

Carol, Craig and the rest of the family. We are so sorry for your loss. I had just talked to Curt a few weeks back while working on the road. I will allway have fond memories of his stories of hunting on Larson road. And I always enjoyed stopping and talking to him when I was mowing roadsides, Curt was one of the good ones! Our hearts go out to you
