Carolyn, Chris, Josh, Sarah, Summer Dale, Whit, Nick and Alexis, Charles....so many wonderful memories of being with everyone in RI. Your parents/grandparents could not have been more welcoming and more goofy...especially GA....but it is what made them both so special. I'm so happy to have had them in my life along with all of you. Remember, while we're saying good bye to Ga...Coachie is just over the horizon saying hello. Love you all...Stacey

I'm very sorry to learn of Mrs. Kurth's passing. I knew her from my days at Trinity. Karl was my coach and Ginny was a cheerleader for me and so many others.
I was born in Westerly and also knew the Kurth's because they were in nearby Charlestown, R.I. They both were so very nice to my mother and father, and I still remember her colorful sweaters that she wore at the Trin football games.

Sincerest condolences to the family of Mrs. Virginia Kurth. Mrs. Kurth was my physical education teacher during my years at Saint Joseph College (1967-1971). Mrs. Kurth was a vivacious and enthusiastic teacher who exposed us to the breadth and depth of many and varied sports. With her ever cheerful disposition it was always a pleasure to be in her presence. All of the students loved her and during my time at Saint Joseph's one of the college yearbooks was dedicated to her paying tribute to...

I graduated from SJC in 1969. Yes, that's a long time ago but I still remember Mrs. Kurth fondly.She taught me that I didn't have to be a "star" to enjoy a sport. She introduced us to many sports preparing us to be active adults by exposing us to many different activities so might find one that would "stick". There probably aren't a lot of people whose memories of college P.E. are happy and grateful. That's because they didn't have Mrs. Kurth! My condolences to the family. Ginny McKinnon...

Dear Caroline and Dale,
I have so many fond memories of Ginny from Tennis on Wednesday to gatherings at different homes, to our trips to Vermont to stay at Olga Goff's lovely home. She was the life of the party and made us laugh and laugh. You have my deepest sympathy. She loved you both so much as well as her grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Let us know when the memorial service will be held.
