I have only pleasant memories of Cousin Kurt.

Kurt, you,ll be missed by all your Delta Tau Delta at BGSU. A great man who will be remembered by all.

We learned of Kurt's passing while in FL. I wish we could be at his memorial service today. Our thoughts and prayers of comfort will be with each of you in his family as you grieve and celebrate his life. We only knew Kurt for a short time through the local region of the Vintage Chevrolet Club. He was always willing to help out and had a smile for everyone. I admired the work he did on his Corvair. Kurt is a person that I wish I had learmed to know better. This is a reminder about how short...

Kurt was a wonderful brother to his sister & step-brothers! He also went out of his way to be kind & helpful to others.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Uncle Kurt. He was a great man and a loving husband to Aunt Madeline. May they be reunited in Heaven in God's presence.

God speed good friend. We had a ball working together for the good of our students.
