I first met Kurt when the Race Track reopened. Kurt, John Panico and I worked together in the administration department and became friends. The two of them and I would go to King of pizza after our shift. I think the felt sorry for me since I was old enough to be their mom. I loved those two.

Kurt was such a caring human being. I will hold onto the memory of our last conversation. Kurt had the biggest smile when he talked about Jake & how great he was doing.
Just not fair that you were taken way too soon in life! Rest In Peace !l
