Daniel Kurtz

Dan is my second cousin when my family visited West Virginia. We hung out a lot and we became very good friends.. he was a great guy and I missed him over the years. Sorry for that.. we went rollerskating together and we had a good time

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dan and I were college roommates for 3 out of four years. We graduated about this time, 57 years ago. We both went into the military for 4 years after receiving our draft notices. I attended both of his weddings. So sorry he died so young as I know he still had much to give to his friends and family.

Jack Goldstein I will always remember you for your great sense of humor and love of life I will miss you Dan.

On this anniversary, I look at the picture of Dan, and feel the manifestation of the beautiful life he shared with me, as if he were present. I´ll never forget when he hired me to be the Nanny of his beautiful children; they were a blessing in my life and memories! For several years one of my duties was to cook weekly dinner for the family: I was a young man in graduate school with no culinary background. Dan NEVER ONCE complained about my cooking!!! He was gracious and thanked me after every meal. Thank you, Dan, for all you did being a beaker of light as I transitioned through graduate school and into professional setting!

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Dan - we sure missed you at our class reunion - love and prayers from: The Stonewall Jackson High School - Charleston, WV - Class of 1964

Your family will be held in the hearts and thoughts of many as you mourn the loss of your Dad. Our roots go back to the sophomore year at SJHS in Charleston, WV and second year Latin class in the room of Lillian Bush. A serious student, he also enjoyed getting under her skin on occasion. We swam at EPI in the summers. We became closer when Rose, Abe and Dan hosted AFS student Mats Lindquist our senior years. After high school we all went our separate ways with only occasional contact. However, as I get ready to attend the 55th reunion of the SJHS Class of 64 this weekend, I will recall fondly the memories of the reunions that he attended with Lynn Silvers before Kyra was born when he took her around his childhood haunts and then in 2014 when he celebrated not only his past but all the accomplishments he achieved in the years after high school. Most importantly know that he considered you, his children, his greatest legacy.

My deepest condolences to Esther, Adam, Nathan and Kyra. I was fortunate to work with Dan at NECO for 24 years. We had a lot of fun and produced some good work. I will miss him.

My condolences to your family for your loss. May God be your strength in this time of deep sorrow. (Psalms 18:6)

I am saddened to learn of Dan's passing. My condolences to his family and all who loved him. We were fellow classmates at NECO. His passion for optometry and his contributions speak so highly of everything he exemplified. He was a true mentor to many.

He was a wonderful man, and will forever leave a lasting impression on everyone who was lucky enough to know him. Thoughts and prayers are with the entire family as you go through this hard time.

I extend my deepest condolences to Esther,Adam,Nathan,and Kyra RIP Dan.

My sincere condolences to Esther, Adam, Nathan and Kyra. I knew your dad and loved him dearly. He was a wonderful mentor and friend and he will be missed immensely. Thank you for supporting his love of the field of Optometry. I am grateful for having the opportunity to know him, become his friend and be a part of his life. I share in your grief and wish you all great success, much love and the wonderful memories of your beloved father.
