Kurt and Winnie enjoyed wintering in Arizona, Europe and 18 trips to Hawaii. In later years son Ed took them on road trips with Warren in Canada and the U.S. Kurt had the talent to “fix” anything. Amazing the family with his creative solutions and the fact that no matter what the piece Kurt could find it in the “stash” in either the basement or the garage. Nothing was ever thrown out, in fact Kurt was one of the earliest environmentalists, recycling everything. Respecting Kurt’s wishes, no service will be held.
