To the Family of David Robert Kurth. My name is Perian Fischer and your pronounce my name Perry-Ann and I am sorry to read about his passing that was in the paper. When I seen that the last name was Kurth and to see that he has a sister who lives in Hutchinson, I was curious to find out if he is related to the Kurth's that are from the Hutch area. My grandpa was Harvey Kurth and his parents were Paul and Emma Kurth and her maiden name was Buhman. He came from a large family. My grandpa married a Leona Klukas and together they had a daughter and my mom's name was Arlys Ann Wessel ( nee Kurth ). If we are related that is nice and if not, I am sorry. I know that this sunday is the Kurth reunion in Hutchinson and in which I will not be able to attend for I have to work. Please get back in touch with me and once again I am sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear the news of David's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with those that knew him best and will miss him greatly. My mind is comforted with the steadfast belief that he now resides peacefully and for all eternity in Heaven - beside those that he loved and cared for most.
