This is so hard to read. I am so sorry. If there is anything that I can do, please just let me know. I wish could do something, but we all want you to know how much we thought of Curt. He reminded me of my dad, motorcycle and all. Now the wind is blowing through his hair, and his ride is a smooth one. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Thank you Curt, I won't forget you! love, carla
Rest in peace.

I could count on Curt to speak his mind and loudly when he felt the need. But when he was loud it was because he cared about us, he wanted everyone well. He kept it lively here. He will be missed.
Prayers for his family and friends, that includes our little group.

I am so sorry to hear of this. As many know, Curt and I had plenty of interaction, including heated discussions here at times, and I am so happy that we became friends here on DS. He mentioned that I reminded him of his son. He offered me his phone number, to call him ANYTIME. I will not forget...(3dots) I will miss him. I learned from him. I may shed some tears tonight, but if I do, they will be happy tears because I know he is at peace. 60 years young and gone too soon.
Thank you Curt, for everything. One of the board warriors. I did not make it through this message without tear.
My heart goes out to his family.
LOVE,
TJ
