View all 159 ReflectionsI worked with Curt briefly as part of the Juvenile Diversion Program run through the CCPD. I was a volunteer with my church. I remember him as being full of life and well respected by all. It was a pleasure to know him however briefly. I pray that his family finds continued peace and comfort in knowing they will be reunited with him one day soon.
