A bunch of us Clarence Court. People were very close way back when and Kurt and his family were a part of our childhood. I have one silly story that will make people smile. I can’t remember how old he was, but I know he was young very young, and he took off all his clothes and ran up and down the street naked! Oh my God, did everybody laugh at that. There’s too many memories to put in one little box but he was a super guy. I ran into him probably 15 years ago and it was fun catching up with him. my condolences to Debbie and the whole family.

Curt was one the best uncles anyone could ask for. His love was unconditional and if there was anything you wanted, Uncle Curt would get it. His hugs felt like a warm blanket on Christmas morning and I looked forward to them every time Id see him. It's hard to put into words how much I'll miss him. -Love BooBoo
