James Robert Kurtzweil

Jim always made people laugh and had a charismatic personality that lit up the room. He could take a negative and turn it around to a positive. I had the opportunity of playing golf with him several times in Popp's group at the Legacy. I would hit a bad shot and he would laugh and shortly after he would do the same thing so I would laugh. See golf is just a game to him and enjoyed being with guys telling jokes and reminiscing about the past. He loved his family more than anything in this world and was so proud of them. He will be missed by many. We Jim is with God now for he truly is special. Rick & Patty

Ciao Jim,
A true example of humanity and genuine leadership.
Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Forever grateful,

For Ray and I, Jim may have started out as a vendor, but he always understood the true meaning of relationship, and when he left GE, he was determined to remain friends. What a gift he was to us! My favorite line from his obit will stay with me ...
" His memory will continue to brighten our days and inspire us to embrace life with the same fervor that he did."

He was the spice of life that brought all the ingredients together of a really good bowl of soup, warmth, compassion, and a lively, sometimes naughty personality. We will sorely miss him and especially his shenanigans.
