Dear Kurteff Family;
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Kurteff as the dad of one of my closest friends. He always made me feel like part of the family and had the best sense of humor. I know he impacted many lives in such a positive way. He will be missed by so many.
Love, Robin and Mark Andrews

I taught at Munster H.S. during the last year of George's tenure there. He was a teacher's principal and a great influence on how I conducted myself later in my career when I left the teaching profession. I was just a second year teacher and I made my share of mistakes. Mr. Kurteff always had my back. God Bless.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Mr. Kurteff was my principal as a student at Munster High, and then my boss as a teacher at Highland High. He was always focused on the best for those in his schools...students and teachers alike. Kind and endearing. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kurteff when I was an English teacher at Highland HS 1979-1985. The best boss I ever had and a real class act.
