Kurt was a truly honorable man from his military service to his devotion to family. I have been blessed that he called me his friend and loved me like an adopted son. He will be missed everyday. He would always greet you with a smile and a handshake and a joke or two.
God be with you my dear friend!

Uncle Kurt. So many memories. Thank you for introducing me to jalapeños even if it was in our own contest of who could eat the most. Thank you for telling me about not just how to make, but how SOS came about. Thank you for stepping up to help me when my Dad passed...that may be the biggest gift Ive ever had. Im so happy to share apple pie from Cle Elum with you. Thank you for telling me during our last time together do what YOU need to do, Kris, and youll be fine. Of all the words we shared...I treasure most kind, love and Ill always be here for you. I will love you always. And no, theres nothing dropped on my shirt, so dont make me look down (and spill tears)!

Anyone who knew my dad knew that he was one of a kind. Talked to anyone. Completely present and always interested in hearing your story. As a family we always knew our outings would take longer because he would run into someone that he knew.
As his daughter, I always knew that he was my greatest supporter. It's nice knowing that no matter what you do, your dad thinks you are flawless. I needed that unconditional love and it created an environment where I could make mistakes without judgement. He was my soft place to land and because I'm a slow learner, I had to land there a lot.
During one of our talks I told him that I couldn't imagine opening my eyes to a day where he wasn't here. My dad. My support. My fan. I've opened my eyes now and I've lived several days without him and I can honestly say, my world isn't the same without him here. I miss him desperately but he gave me my marching orders and I will honor them. For only him...... because I love him!!
Your, JuJu...... dad
