Curt was one on my two best friends at Colorado College, and the most loyal. On weekend mornings, he'd bust through the door, jump in the air and land on top of me to wake me up. Years later he did the same by calling across country early in the morning and just say: "Heh - Em - this is your wake up call." LOL. Man I miss that guy.

You did great and special things for others without ever telling them, and would call out of the blue (once from Air Force 1 - or so you said LOL). Still remember smiling when your number popped up. Great number - still remember it!

My deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers from Nova Scotia where this great man and his family are so respected and loved - any way we can help, we will - terrible news xo

I feel shock and sorrow at Curt's untimely passing. I do feel comfort, though, knowing that he raised wonderful children and contributed so much to our community. I give my sympathy particularly to his sisters and parents. God Bless.

On a cold,dark late Autumn day in Chester,I was shocked when a friend called with the news of Curt's passing.A day made even darker. I stopped work and was compelled to rush over to that mutual friend and commiserate. I met Curt when he found Chester and had the pleasure to work for him and spend time with him on his vacations here.Summers in Chester will never be the same without his energy,enthusiasm and zest for life. The Business and Arts Communities of Washington have lost a great man. And so has Chester in the Summer.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Debbie and the girls and to his Dad and Mom.

Curt always greeted you with a smile, and always stood up for his friends with utmost and unflagging loyalty. Am simply thankful for the time we had with such a great guy, who made so many lives better for having known him.

My prayers are with Debbie and the family. Curt and I taught Sunday School at Christ Church together a few years ago. He was a wonderful teacher and it was a real joy to serve with him. I will really miss his generous and kind spirit.

December 16, 2012

There are few men I respect as much as Curt. Successful, approachable, loyal, and fun. His professional and personal success were emblematic of the quality of the person within. I prey his wife and daughters will recover soon from his loss, and that they will carry forward his memory, spirit, and passion for life. Lacy Rice

Mr. Winsor was a remarkable, genuine, hard-working, generous man. It is an honor and a pleasure to work for the company he co-founded, Bank of Georgetown. His leadership and presence will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, Curt... job well done.

My prayers and heartfelt condolences to Debbie, Devon, Elizabeth, Julia and Curt's parents and sisters. His Bank of Georgetown family share in your sorrow. He will forever be loved and missed.
