Keeping you in my thoughts and Prayers Hugs

I always think of Kurt when I hear Summertime. He was such a fun, talented guy. He was a good friend of my family & is missed.

Awesome guy and great musician. Gone way to soon but left precious memories.

On this anniversary of Kurt's passing, I wanted to say that Kurt was like a big brother to me. He got me into the group, The Princemen, and I was 14 years old at the time. He was a fun guy to be around, and a great musical talent. I will always remember the fun times we had, making the 45 record at IGL studios, and then seeing him again years later when the Princemen were inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Deb, so sorry to hear about Kurt, always remember the good time we had listening to him sing and play his guitar. Seems so long ago we worked together at Tones. My prayers are with you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Kurt my prayers go out to his family as i'm sure he will be greatly missed by all of you.

Deb and Family, I don't know if you will remember me by name, Anita. But I have known Kurt since Traders days, actually nights{many}. I am Denny Hickeys niece. I was so sad to see this in the paper. No one has ever sang Summertime like Kurt. I remember that well since I was 17yrs old and going to Traders with Denny almost every weekend. My prayers are with you. I will miss Kurt alot.
