To the Lemkau family and the extended Carroll clan... our profound thoughts go out to you from the Ormsby's. I recently had the pleasure of hearing stories of Curt through Fred and Liz. Not just about his brave struggle with cancer but about the kind of man he is. They described his valor in the face of a tough cancer battle and his gentle and generous nature. Mostly they talked about the huge man with a heart to match. Much love. MIkey, C.G., Carey, and Robin and Lilly G.
