John Kurtz Obituary

Still missing my longtime friend John Kurtz , who I met and was my probation officer , as a young kid in trouble. He helped me to straiten out , and just do the right thing. I bumped into him as I was delivering the mail, at first he didn´t recognize me , I told him who I was , and he couldn´t believe it was me , we shook hands , and he went on his way. But I´m forever grateful for John being a friend to me . God Bless you John

My sincere condolences to the Kurtz family. Saddened by the loss of Mr. Kurtz , who befriended and defended me in juvenile court . He was very understanding and easy to talk with. He guided me onto the straightened road I traveled , and put his trust and believed in me to succeed in life . I thanked him , as he had become a great advisor and friend with wisdom. Later in life he represented me through a divorce , and though devastating to me , gave me the right mental attitude to continue. He was a very good friend , I’ll never forget, he will be sadly missed .

I had just run across the obituary for John. He was my attorney on and off for many many years. He is a very awesome man as well as an awesome attorney. My sincerest condolences to his family and those he loved and loves him.
