Curt has been a friend since we met in 1978. We also became friends with Curt´s family and went on camp trips and outings. I had the Pleasure of being a coworker with Curt at two different employers. I have so many memories of him, he was always on the go be work or play. Curt was a person that you could truly count on no matter what. When I think of him It leaves a smile . You will be missed but not forgotten more than you´ll know.

You know you have great love and respect for a person who truly loves his animals For awhile at work I had to bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday, his name is Bondo and he couldn't go home without saying hello good boy and I know that he has lots of his fur babies waiting for him. Take long walks and rest well

I very much enjoyed getting the chance to work with Curt, lots of years together and always a fun and learning experience. I will always keep close to my heart the last time Curt and close friends went out to dinner for his retirement. God bless you and your family
