I had the privilege of getting to know Kurt through the Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors about 30 years ago. He soon became a friend rather than just a fellow Board member and I truly enjoyed knowing him all these many years. Kurt, you will be missed by all who knew you...rest in peace.

Just got to now Kurt the last couple of years, a fantastic few lunches together in Eudora with a fellow Architect thirteen years older than myself. He is gone and I hold him in very high regard as a great man. Condolences to his close friends and family he is now rejoined in the warm embrace of the cosmos. Nothing is lost to the cosmos, the divine.

I always looked forward to visiting with Kurt most Mondays for lunch with the other old guys. We enjoyed sharing our recent learnings via the Great Courses and I always learned something from Kurt. In addition to his sharp intellect and willingness to share and learn, Kurt was a very kind man. I was fortunate to meet and get to know such a man. I do miss him.

Over many years I have had the opportunity to know and work with Kurt. He holds a wealth of knowledge and was always gracious to share for the benefit of those around him. I and the community will miss him, but have been blessed to have had him. My deepest condolences to the family. May God continue to comfort you.

My family and I are extremely shaken that Kurt passed. To your family, we send the upmost love and light. He was an exquisite and brilliant man and I´ll forever remember his loving humor.
Kurt was like my 2nd dad from kindergarten to becoming a young adult... I have unforgettable memories of the love your family exuded on ME and my family.
With love and light, Lisa(Pitts)Parker, Tom and Cathy Pitts, and Rachel (Pitts)Pacheco

Peace be still.
All is well.
