We are shocked and saddened to hear of Curt's passing. He was a dear friend, and a kind and thoughtful man. My most recent email from him shared photos of a drive he and Denise had taken to Pella to see the tulips. He was a detailed writer, and I felt I had taken the drive with them. He will be greatly missed. Fred and I will hold dear the memory of our last visit with Curt (October of last year). We had lunch at the Exline Store with him and Denise and then they invited us over to their home for dessert and coffee afterwards. We had such a wonderful visit that day and were looking forward to another visit when we will be back there for a family reunion in June. Our deepest condolences go out to Denise and Tracy.

Curt and I shared our childhoods in New Jersey and a love of horses. We maintained e-mail correspondence up until just last week. He sent me many numerous stories; but, most recently, he sent me photos of the lilacs in his back yard. He was proud of his home and loved spending time with Denise and Tracy and family and friends who played cards with him or just met for coffee. I will miss him and his e-mails and cherish his memory. My condolences to Denise, Tracy and brother, Russell. Posted by Susan Germanio - Palm Coast, FL - Cousin May 11, 2015
