My condolences to the Kolar family.
Kurt was a high school friend with whom I had lost touch. Only in recent months had I re-engaged with him on a legal issue. By no coincidence, I chose to contact him because I formerly knew him to be someone people could trust. From my brief conversations with him this past summer and from reading the many signings about Kurt, it's good to see Kurt had continued to be a compassionate person with integrity, using his talents to help others just as...

In an often dreary professional world, Kurt was a kind, sensitive, witty and...

My deepest sympathies go out to Millie and the family. I knew Kurt, not very well, but from High School, and my mom was Margo McBride who worked with Millie for many many years. I am so sorry for your loss.

While I had only known Kurt for the past 3 or 4 years, we had several things in common and our friendship was growing to the point of our having recently introducted our families and children to each other. Kurt and his family had just visited us a few weeks before this profoundly tragic event.
Our sincerest condolences to Kimberly, Konrad and the rest of Kurt's extended family. He will truly be missed by so many people.
"All honor to his name"

I am so so so sad about the passing of Kurt. I just met him because of the infe work he did for the Lawyers for The Creative Arts. I spoke to him about my case on August 17, 2012 for 90 entire minutes at his office - and he was so genuienly interested in helping me with an Intellectual Property problem I was having. I saw the pix in the office of his child -- what a darling kid and I see here, that he had a wife -- her name is Kimberly -- and my heart goes out to YOU,Kim at this horrible...
