Kurt and I got to know one another when we worked on some drug-prevention projects in the mid 80's. A quiet and thoughtful guy, Kind. I know he had some rough final years and I send my sincere sympathies to his wife and family. Jeff Zdrale

Kurt and I went to Clintonville Senior High School, graduating together in 1965. We both participated in a special University of Wisconsin program that had us jointly introduced to the Madison Campus while in high school. Always remember comparing notes after our visits. . . that and keeping his stats as he excelled in Trucker basketball. His passing reminds us all of how long ago that actually was. Sincere condolences to Kurt's family.

Aunt Karen, Christian, Jenny & Family, Sara & Family, You all have my sympathy! I wish I could be there with you all to celebrate Kurt's life. Unfortunately, I think I got COVID when I returned from WI to Charlotte last week so I can't fly right now. I feel fortunate to have seen Kurt shortly before he passed away. He will be greatly missed.
