Not sure what to say?

Kurt was a dear friend of mine in college. I haven't seen or spoken to him since 1968, yet news of his passing devastate me. Your father/fiance was a significant influence in my life. He taught me to laugh, to enjoy life, to shake off problems and so many other things. If not for knowing him, I could not have been a high school teacher for 35 years. Bless you and just remember: He is still loving you, just from farther away.

I did not know until now of Curtis's passing. Curtis and I were friends in the 70s and I will always remember the great times we had giggling and laughing. He was a great friend and fabulous photographer. I will always cherish the photos he took of me. My prayers go out to his two sons.

We are so very sad to hear about Curtis. We were friends in the 70's. He took the warmest pictures of my son & I that we will always treasure. He was gentle, talented & such a fun guy. Our thoughts go out to all of you.

Matt, you and your brother are in my prayers.
I am sorry I did not make the wake tonight.
once again I am sorry to hear about your dad.
Best Regards,
Steve Mersch

Dear Matt,
Sorry we had to meet this way after all these years. Your dad was a good man and your family is in my prayers. Take care and hopefully we can keep in touch.

Curtis was both a friend and a mentor. He showed me through his own actions that it wasn't where you ended up in life but how you got there. He was one of the most kind compassionate and humble persons I have ever known, very uncommon in our business. i did not see Curtis the last couple of weeks but the last time i spoke to him He was still positive. He never wanted anyones pity, thats not how he was. I'll miss you.

Please accept my condolences. Curtis was a very good photographer and a very nice human being. Much too young to be taken from his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

How devastating this is! I have known Curtis only a short time as his Rep but in this short time I have such a fondness and respect for him. He is funny, spiritual, a deeply talented artist, dedicated and loving to his partner Eileen and his sons. I cherish the times I have spent getting to know him. My heart and prayers will be with you.

We are in total shock. Curtis was THE nicest guy. So giving, so loving and so kind and compassionate. Aside from working with him on photography needs, we once sailed with him to "dry dock" and listened to his stories about his sons and his life. We have always valued that experience. Our love and prayers to the family. He certainly was more than the sun could ever shine.
