Dear Stacy, Alexa, and Grace;  
My heart is grieved by the passing of your husband, and father, and I am sad he had to leave you so early, and thru such an arduous jorney these past several years.  I will never forget the good times I had with him during my 16 years at willow valley. He loved you all so much, and worked so hard in many ways for, and with, you. May he live forever in your hearts and the memory of all your joys with him never fade. And may God’s grace and comfort be especially near to you in the now different days ahead.

I am privileged to have known Curt and to have had him as a close friend.   I say he’s a friend, but he was more like family.  To Stacy, Alexa, and Grace: You have taught me the meaning of true strength as your resolve through all of this has been nothing short of admirable.  I love you all, and if you ever need me, I’ll be there.

What an amazing spirit! Curt will live forever in the hearts of everyone who really knew him! I also believe that there was nothing left unsaid. Stacy, Alexa, & Grace should know exactly how much they are loved, and that Curt knows how much he is loved as well. That is an eternal blessing. I will miss the great rituals we had at Pete’s, but Curt will always be there with us…. and our family will always be here for you whenever we are needed. I am sure that we always celebrate his presence and that he will never leave our hearts! – Tim Kwiat & Family

We are so sad. Curt was a wonderful person and we are glad to have known him. May God stay close to his family, our family too, despite the years that have seperated us from each other. We have nothing but good memories of cousin “Curtie” and his family from our shared childhood holidays. So sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathy goes out to the Musser family. First met Curt and Darren on a team in the RHL as I believe it was their first season playing on ice and later in the ARHL. Curt was always very energetic and smiling. Always having a great time on the ice. I feel lucky to of known him as a teammate as he was friendly to everyone. Curt will be missed for sure but never forgotten. Thoughts and prayers will be with the Musser family during this time of need.

My prayers and sympathy go out to Curt’s family and friends. Curt was one of the most energetic and kind people I knew. I worked for him 14 years ago. Seems like yesterday I was nervous going into his office to give my 2 weeks because I was joining the Army. He was the first person to be excited for me. He even helped write a letter and sent some pictures to me while I was in training. I am overcome with sadness of the news. Our prayers and best wishes for all who feel his loss. – Don Dormer and family

My hero … what a fighter … considered a good friend and an outstanding team member.  Sincerely sorry for your loss and particularly after such a protracted time of oersonal anguish both for Curt and your family.   While not a college graduate, Curt was knowledgeable … a sponge when it came to learning.   I always enjoyed our discussions which were frequent.  He was always most proud of Grace’s and Alexa’s educational prowess.  Honor his life by continuing to learn.  Willow Valley wiill be hard pressed to ever find a better company steward.  Linda and I share in your sorrow.  Sincerely, Jim Cluck

Heart felt thougts and prayers go out to the family of Curt and he was one great person to know of for quite a few years and always was postive no matter the circumstance. Among that he was a very dedicated man to his family foremost and friends too. He had a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed to know of Curt and have some really great times when we worked together and outside the same. Curt was a class act and I admired his persona and his company always to be in over the years (many) to know of him and I will miss this guy much. Surely was a couragous soul and god bless him.
