Curt and I were in the same academy class in 1977, and he has remained fondly in my memory from those and subsequent days at TPD. Perry and I both send our condolences to his family and friends and our hopes are that you find comfort in the days to come.

I remember Curt from when he
worked for my Mom & Dad at Keglers Lanes in the seventies.
He was so proud when He became a police
officer.
I am so sorry to hear of His passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
