Kurt's true love was his family and just recently became semi-retired to spend more time with them.  He was active with Cub Scout Troop # 133 and Boys Scout Troop # 107 where his son Jacob received his status of Eagle Scout.  Kurt also coached his daughter Melody in track at St. Jude and was very proud of her accomplishments.  We celebrate the fact that he is now in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
