Kurt and Debbie were friends of my parents Al and Polly Van Der Moere.  As a kid, when Kurt and Debbie would come to visit us in Mesick, MI, I was always excited because Kurt always made me feel like the son he didn't have.  It's now, 2017 and I've thought often of Kurt throughout my life, and wondered how he and his family are doing.  I've asked my mother (Polly) if she had any communication with them, and she said she didn't, but would have liked to have had.  If Debbie is still alive, I hope her life has been as wonderful as I remember Kurt to be.  I hope to see him on the other side ... he was a good person that I look back on in my younger life. I look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for posting the picture.   Curt always enjoyed hunting camp and all the guys.  The plant basket from all the hunting guys was beautiful.   Thank you.

Thank you, Janet & Mike.    We have a lot of memories.

Thoughts and prayers from St. John's, Michigan.  I can still picture Curt up in the stands cheering away for the redwings! So sorry for your loss.  He was an awesome guy.

I got to know Curt through his friendship with my next door neighbors the Leabos in Sun City Grand AZ.  What a blessing he was in my life.  He was always ready to lend a hand, a good word, and a smile.  You know -- the kind of person you just hope to see on any given day.  I remember the last time I saw him.  He jumped out of the SUV with a big smile on, ready to say hello!  A wonderful memory.  A wonderful friend.

Our recent thoughts go out to you and your family
We looked up to your Dad from country school days in rural Ovid

We were neighbors of Curt & Deb for many years on Taft Rd. We struck up a fast, easy friendship with them and shared many good times over the years. We were really sad when they moved away to AZ but still kept in contact.  Amy, Julie & our Chad were 3 peas in a pod and Curt always treated him like a member of the family. 
We are heartbroken over Curt's passing. He truly was a gentle, super man.
Hugs and prayers to Deb, Amy , Julie and family.

So sorry to here this news.  My heart goes out to you all.  Thinking of you.

Curt & Deb have been in and out of our physical lives several times in the past 40 years but never out of our hearts.  Curt & Ben worked together, hunted together, our families camped and played together.  Still our son's best memories of their childhood is our camping trips and the kids vs. adults softball games.  Ben & Bryon learned what they know of handiman skills while watching Curt & Ben work on projects like remodeling my whole kitchen.  

The good die young and we're heart broken, but cherish our wonderful memories.  Curt promised to go scout out some good duck hunting places for him & Ben.  What more can you ask of a great friend.

Ben & Janet

When I think of Curt, I think of goodness, of giving, of joy and happiness, of love, of family.  When I think of Curt, I think of Deb because you couldn't think about one and not the other.  There aren't a lot of memories that don't include the two.

I remember growing up with Curt, Doug, and Barry (my cousins yet more like my brothers).  We spent every weekend on their farm until we moved to the country.  I remember Curt being there for us when we lost our brother.  He became a son to my dad and  took on being our big brother.  Curt and Deb were who we sought advice from as we raised our two daughters (because they had already done such a fabulous job with their two girls).  Curt and Deb were there to support and help through the loss of my father.  I don't know what we would have done without them.  I remember our great trips to Vegas and the national bull riding finals.  I remember the joy of riding our Harley's together.  I remember our times up north at our cabins.

My memories of Curt are all of goodness, joy, love and happiness.  I will truly miss you cousin/big brother.

Love you - Robin
