He dedicated his entire life to improving the lives of the amputees and handicapped individuals with whom he shared his great talents. He and his wife founded Allentown Limb and Brace Co. in 1972, a prosthetic facility which is now owned and operated by their son Henry since their retirement. Kurt was a former member of the Alton Park Lions Club.

Dear Henry, Tina, Zach & Brandan,

Mrs. Haas and I want you to know just how special you are and that we care about you as you try to cope with loss of a special father and grandpa. Though not always so near in our experiences, some moments are forever with us, like the years we spent together as teacher and student. I hope the "forever times" you shared with your dad and grandpa will be the memories that make for happier tomorrows. Mit aufrichtiger Sympathie,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. You all have many wonderful memories to reflect upon, not only now but in the future as well, which will surely fortify you to endure in the days ahead. "Dad" was a great person who sought to help others in their times of need. I weep tears of sorrow with all of you, but will remember the years I was associated with him at Allentown Limb & Brace with fondness. Yvonne
