Not sure what to say?

Kurt was a good friend, who taught me alot about Mountain men, and hunting and trapping.. I think of him quite often.

My dad, Pat Cafarelli, adored Kurt. They were such good friends- and many of my fondest childhood memories include Kurt. He was one in a million.
I know it is hard when they leave us- but like my dad said before he moved on, "we are off to the happy hunting grounds and will see one another again."
I know that they are there now, together, hollering and carrying on-

My prayers and thoughts are with you all-

"I give you this one thought to keep -

Kurt The Greek became a lifelong friend after his father passed away and his family moved to Granger near our family. During high school we worked on our old hot rod cars, we didn't like riding the bus ten miles to Cyprus. We thumbed rides alot in those days.

I custom painted everything Kurt owned from cycles to the hard hats we wore while working at McFarlands Beef Packers. We car pooled to work and Kurt got his brother Terry a job on the "kill floor" with us. I pin-striped his...

My sincere condolences to Tammy Lane and the entire family.
Remember all the good times, the birthdays, christmas,family gatherings, and all.
I had some great times in the 12 years I was with your dad. The fishing, camping, hunting, and rendezvous, and cabin.
Although I have moved on Kurt and I kept in touch we had many good conversations and laughs about our times together, and how much he adored Margie when she came into his life.
He called me a month ago when my mother...

To Tammy, Lane and family:

Your dad was a tough old buzzard who was a loyal friend and who was the first to help anyone in need. He loved the outdoors and could have lived back when mountain men and native americans were the only humans in this area. Every time we see a Tee Pee or a bow and arrow, we will fondly remember "our mountain man friend"

Kurt was always quick with a smile or a laugh, and growing up buckskinning he was a great example of keeping it fun. I will miss you, Kurt!

Farwell old friend, you have been more than just a friend to me. Brother, mentor, companion, all are words defining our relationship. I have missed your companionship and will always count you as brother. Keep your nose to the wind and your topknot in place, till better times when we rendezvou in the great beyond.
Be at peace good friend.
