Curt was my neighbor and friend and I will dearly miss his presence in my life. His company was always enjoyed through outdoor waves, smiles, hellos and just his being there. I told many people I knew about Curt and how I see him as the perfect man! My heart feels a deep loss. My memories of Curt are warm and awesome.
