Curt was an exceptional man and a loving husband to my Aunt Cheryl. We will all miss him deeply. He always treated me and my children with kindness. Whenever I had the chance to see him, he greeted everyone with a smile and had such a positive attitude, even during his health challenges. I feel fortunate to have known him for all these years. Sending prayers and a big hug to my Aunt Cheryl, and the rest of her family during this difficult time.

Grandpa Curt was always in such a happy mood and his sense of humor was unmatched. He always had a big smile on his face, and I loved seeing a text from him, knowing there was going to be a funny joke or picture coming my way. Sending love and prayers to the family, and may Curt rest in peace.
