A most excellent teacher, mentor and student advocate.

What a wonderful man! I came to know Curt as a tenor in his choir at Shepherd of Sierras Church in Loomis. We shared breakfasts for years in Roseville and most notably, Curt acted as a mentor when I was challenged at work. He had a great sense of humor and kept conversations going with whacky stories about such and such. Blessings to all and family, and I will carry a tune in his honor.

Mr. Casey was my choir teacher at Peter Lassen Jr High. He was a better angel with out a doubt.

As a student on the 70´s, I was inspired to experience music in various ways. He was a gift to us through his talent and enthusiasm. Our early morning Madrigal sessions were fun and full of life.

We loved you Curt. You were a great man and the world is emptier without you in it. Rest In Peace.

But later, as adults, friends, and peers of his, our understanding and...
