We knew Curt from Thornridge HS and hung out together with him and his cousin, Dan Bothwell. He was the nicest guy, and always made me laugh. Our sincere condolences to you Terry, and your children and grandchildren. May the memories of Curt be held close to your heart in the days ahead and always. Please know he is now resting with God in perfect peace.
