Kurt Caurdy

I had so many laughs with him as a fellow teacher. Kurt Caurdy had a great sense of humor and always made all of us laugh with his quick wit and jokes. Most importantly, I will remember how much his family meant to him. He was so proud of his wife, and kids--Linnae and Alex. We should all take the time to savor our families like he did. He made me feel like I was a member of his extended family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his wonderful family.

Kurt was My uncle and I loved him dearly, My favorite times with him is when we would take family trips together. It was so fun to see the three bothers together. It was always nice just be together as a family. I love him and will miss him. But I think everyone should find comfort in the fact that he is no longer in pain. The whole world will miss him, He was an amazing person, father, husband, uncle and friend.

From childhood to adulthood and then to family, a lifetime of memories my friend, I will miss you.

When I was young boy, I always looked up to Kurt and the example he set. He always worked hard and was one of the people that I wanted to be like when I grew up. I will always remember him for his strength, determination and warm heart.

A fine individual I was so lucky to have known through high school. He will be greatly missed by all.

I would like to thank all of my brothers friends and students who have taken the time to help his family deal with his passing. He loved teaching and coaching and the way he did it made "we" his family proud of him. I know he will be missed and all we can do is pass on all that he taught us. Again thanks too all.

I was lucky enough to be one of many fathers who had Kurt coach my son in football and wrestling. I will never forget his influence to the team.. He brought out 110% to my son and the team. He will always be remembered as a great coach and person.

I am a fortunate person, in that I had the opportunity to play football for coach Caurdy. He was a man of great insight and wisdom and a man that I greatly admired. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
