Cindy & Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear the news about Kurt. I will miss the office vists and chats very much. He was more than my dentist, he was a good friend.

I am saddened by the news of Kurt's passing and send my condolences to the family. I regret that living so far a way, in the state of Delaware, that I will not be able too attend the funeral. I will always remember that Kurt was responsible for getting me started in the OHSSAR color guard. He was kind enough to lend me portions of his personal" Kit" which launched me forward to a rewarding involvement in the Hocking Valley Chapter OHSSAR. He will be missed.
