Dear Heather and Kurt,
I also have fond memories of heading down to FL from OH. We thought Kurt and Raymaond were so lucky to have the beach as their backyard. I would always say "when I get older I am moving to FL so I can go to the beach every day". I hope you can find peace in this time of your loss. Please remember he is always with you. Kathy

My deepest sympathy. I hope you all can find peace in this time of your loss.
I worked with Kurt for many years. That was when the county was fun.

Heather and Kurt,
I have such good memories of your Dad. My Mom and Dad would put all 4 kids in a car and we would drive 24 straight hours from Elyria OH to St Pete FL. It was always fun to finally get there! We had so many fun times in Florida with your Dad, Raymond and Cindy. I hope you keep all your memories of your Dad close to your heart. I know the pain you are going through...it never goes away, but just gets easier to live with. When I think of your Dad I just have to smile...he was always so happy and carefree! I hope you find comfort in knowing that he is with his Mom and Dad and is smiling down upon you. Carol

So sorry for the lost of your dad. We had many many good times together. My dad Artie (I know you both remember him)
would take us 4 kids to Florida every summer for 2 weeks in July and we would all have a blast with your dad, your uncle Raymond and Aunt Cindy. He was a good man. May your days be filled with lots of good memories of your dad. So sorry again for your lost.

Heather,Kurt
I am sorry to hear that your father has passed on. I will always remember him from our youth.
He would come in to town to visit grandma & grampa Jantz and we would go out to some of the small farm ponds and he would show me how to catch turtles. DAMN! he was good at .I think back to those days and I believe that is when I started to smoke. I think maybe I turned him on to smoking.(sorry) He and Raymond never wore shoes and I could never fiqure that out. I always thought he and Raymond came strait out of the Flipper Show.
I guess I am trying to say that I will always have a place for him in my youthful heart. Tim
