Oh, how I shall miss knowing that Curt walks among us! What a great guy! He was fun, mischievous, just ornery enough to be exciting, and what a sense of humor! Curt would tell the story of his smashed thumb and, regardless of how many times you'd heard it, tears of laughter were streaming down your face, as always, by the time he got halfway through. We could never wait to hear that story again. Curt fought his battle with his illness with an ever
-positive attitude, always telling me he felt a miracle would happen the next week. We all prayed it would. But someone else wanted to have the fun of Curt's company and we must all now live with our wonderful memories of him. He was devoted to his daughter and to his wife and he was kind and giving and never forgot to say he loved those whom he did love. We all loved him, too!

Curt, I wouldn't trade April 29 to May 13 for anything in the world, except maybe to do it again. I will miss you dearly old friend. God speed. Eddie Kelly
