Just looked through West High 1972, saw Kurt's photo. Knew him in High School. So I typed his name in the internet and saw this sad news. God bless his soul and his family. Cordially, Donna Young, Wichita West High Classmate

I have many memories of Kurt, from fishing stories, to trolling motor repair, to Rock band music he performed. He beamed with a real brightness when talking of Vettes and he was a walking encyclopedia of information. It's a smile that will shine on and on.

Phillip, so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I keep very fond memories of Kurt and his passion for flying and bass fishing. May you be comforted to know that he is free to fly again...

I'll never forget the help Kurt gave me; I wouldn't have the Vette I own without his help of obtaining it. I think of him every time I put on and wear the Z06 cap he gave me when I received my new Vette! I will greatly miss his sense of humor and our conversations!

I will miss Kurt - immensely. From fishing trips to trips to the flight simulator, from making fishing lures ( I still have several Geis flipping jigs and spinner baits), and being a neighbor. Kurt - when I get to heaven - meet me at the korner (whenever I said corner - he'd make fun of my southern accent and say " how do you spell that? "korner?" Dear friend - we'll meet again one day.

Dear Karin and Yours. I know you are thinking you will miss him so, and never find your way. But you will hear the Angels say "He's is with you every day"
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow

Dear Kurt & Karin. My fondest memories were our monthly Midway USA newsletter get together where the measure of a good newsletter was made by the amount of Bitburger beer we drank... or so we thought :-) Karin always had the best meal prepared for us. That girl sure can cook! One of my favorite photos attached.
