Dear Lancaster family
I was greatly sadden when I heard about Curt´s death. He was one of the finest people I have ever known. He befriended me when I became superintendent of Spartanburg two. That friendship grew and lasted for more than thirty years. I always enjoyed interacting with Curt and his entire family when I visited the telephone company. You are a wonderful group of people.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with in the days ahead.
