I was a year behind curt in school. He was always very friendly to everyone and positive. Curt gave me a ride to school one day as my car was broke down.I never forgot what he said to me " i hope the rest of your day goes better". I never forgot that saying and use it still to this day. My heart goes out to his family may they find some peace at this difficult time.Greg Herpin
