I had the privilege of knowing Curt at different stages of his life -- from little league football, through high school and college and when he was leading the family business. He was resilient, soft-spoken and kind. I will really miss seeing him at our reunion but believe he will be with us in spirit.

Curt was perhaps the kindest, gentlest, and toughest of my friends and classmates. He was among the very best of us!

I grew up with Curt. I remember him as one of the nicest and bravest people I have known.
