My loving Brother Curt,
There are so many thing's I don't know..And I don't have to know..But I'm slowly learning Curt that, God's job is to work all thing's together for our (The Strong's, the Moore's and People's) good because He promised to do that for those who love Him, such as you did Curt (Romans 8:28-33)..I'm learning my dear Brother that, we need friends and neighbors to look out for one another, to comfort the troubled, to encourage the down hearted, to visit the lonely, and also to give gentle reminders when we see spiritual and physical dangers far off as well as up close.. Why wait intil we come into seasons such as these, why ??? But once again, knowing that God has complete control of our out come, I must continue to learn how to limit my why's and exercise more my thanks you's when it comes to God undeserving grace, and His reasons for bringing you in my life..That being said, I love you Red Boy and I'll do what was requested from our youngest brother Rufus year's prior before leaving us, step up Stan and be the Stan Strong that God has called me to be...Until we meet later Curt, Your loving brother, Stan Strong (Standing Strong)..

Curtis was the best high school football player I coached against. He was a dominant force. He would have to be mentioned as one of the greatest football players in the history of the Mid-State League.
Condolences to the Peoples Family, his mentor and coach Mr. Bruce Kotlinski, and the Hamilton Township community.
