Curt was my life long friend. We spent many times together and had a load of great fun. He liked comparing our friendship to the old TV detective stories with one tall good looking detective and his short fat partner. Whenever, I would tell of my next dream project, he would tell me all the reasons it would be a failure. That made me even more dedicated to put the project together and prove him wrong. I owe Curt a lot for the motivation he provided while also warning me of the ditches I may encounter along the way. I guess I loved him as much as a man can love another man, but I know I will miss him terribly.
