As the text cursor blinks as the memories flood in of Curt. Thank you for our friendship and helping me throughout my Career. Your loss doesn't seem real as I want to reach out to via text or call you, but that is me being selfish as I mourn your loss. You taught everyone around you to be strong and to carry on no matter what. My condolences to Carol and Family. With a broken heart I have to say Good Bye but I will say Till next time Brother. May God Bless Carol and the Family.

My heart goes out to all of Curt´s family. I had the honor of having Curt as my boss for 5 years. In that time, he never had an unkind word to say. The positive impact he had on everyone he met will never be forgotten. What a boss we lost. RIP Curt.

Curt was one of those people who came into your life and left an impactful meaningful impression. I will miss having coffee clutches with him while he was my shoulder to lean on while I "handled lost luggage" as he would say. I will miss you greatly my friend!
