Dixie: Carley and I have many fond memories of visiting with Curt at the conventions and the years I was involved with him at the national level. He was a bright spot in a dull background.
Our condolences once again for your loss.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I sent a previous message but forgot to sign. Curt and I graduated from Dunlap High together in 1959. He had a great smile and sense of humor then and that stayed with him when I saw him an occasional reunions. In the last few years, we have exchanged news on Facebook. I hadn't heard from him for some time and was beginning to wonder but I'm so sorry to learn the reason. He will be misserd.

Dixie, our sincere condolence for your loss.
We both have many fond memories of Curt during our association over the years. We most enjoyed the "after the meeting meetings"
we joined in good humor and enjoyed the sharing of 'spirits' and fun and games.
We are both glad we got to visit with Curt at the last convention. Nothing we can say or do will help you, but take faith in the fact that we too will miss a good friend

I remember Curt as an individual that was very passionate in his causes, especially when it came to TPA. Always smiling with an infectious laugh. A great guy! If there is something to sell in heaven, Curt will be the main guy selling it! He will be missed!

Curt was never a stranger to us! First time we met Curt was 12 years ago when we started to build our home right next door in Hanna City. Our son Brock was three years old when he met Curt. Brock and Curt had several great conversations in the yard! Not sure what they talked about but Brock absolutely loved him. Curt made Brock a Cardinal fan which he started him off young at 3! Always brought T-shirt's home to us after a game. Curt was a good man and we loved chatting with him. You will be missed!
With all of our love, Troy, Brandy, and Brock Skaggs
