Curt has been a great friend to us for over 30 years. Bruce enjoyed their time together hunting, golfing, softball and parting. We both enjoyed all the times we had with Curt and the family. His 4th of July parties were defiantly one of the parties Curt loved the most. 🙂 Sitting on the bench with the girls as they played ball, the once a month get together to play cards, the time we drove the golf carts when the guys golfed, of when Pauline and I were the hunting camp’s cooks and the back seat riders during pheasant hunting. We will never forget all these times and the rest of the good times we shared. He loved to do things to help others. Curt was very proud of being a part of the Cowboy Up Ride Against Cancer event. Curt and Pauline both did an awesome job and help making that event successful. So many great memories to fill our hearts. Love you Curt and already missing you.
Fargo Dear Pauline and family,
My deepest sympathies on the loss of Curt. It makes no sense some times when the people who make the world a better place are taken from us far too soon.

.We were deeply saddened by the news of Curt’s passing. I had the privilege of being friends with him & his wife for 35 years, and was in their wedding. Lots of good times, fishing, softball, watching the Vikings, had lots of laughs and good times! Curt was always a very kind person, and was never short on smiles or saying thank you, no matter what it was for. We will miss him always, and will be in our memories forever. May God
bless and comfort his family.
