For 30 years I had the privilege of knowing and working with Curt in the insurance industry. I will miss our lunches, his digital Christmas greeting and stories of their travel adventures. He will be remembered with respect and gratitude. Curt was not only a respected mentor and a dear friend, but someone who made a profound and lasting difference in my life. His belief in me provided a business opportunity that changed my life. This is a gift for which I will always be grateful.

Curt and Judy were a wonderful team. May you find comfort in the many memories you shared and knowing how much Curt meant to so many. My condolences to you and your family.

Judy, I didn't Curt but you spoke so highly of him. The things you said you and he did sounded so wonderful. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Take care and hope to see you soon.

Curt's mom and my father were first cousins. I really don't know what that makes Curt and I, but I always enjoyed visits and correspondense over many years.

We met at a Kelley reunion at the Black Hills of SD, I believe. Curt and Judy hosted a reunion in Winnipeg, one year, that we attended.

Curt and Judy visited Avis and I in Gulf Shores, AL one winter. We have remained in contact every Christmas-Curt and Judy also send me Birthday greetings every November. This was not the type of contract I expected this year. Judy, we are very sorry for your loss. We will pray for you and your family comfort and peace during this time of sorrow. We will miss him.

Curt and I go back to his days working for the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, in his role of membership chairman, if I remember correctly. Over the decades, Curt and I were part of this Friday morning brunch group, commencing with up to 8 other gentleman representing business owners and senior personnel of industry, trade and commerce in Winnipeg. As time progressed; most members passed on and it finally came down to Curt myself and our dear friend Bill. I found Curt to be a remarkable person, outstanding in principles, a real family man and he became a very good friend who I admired and I respected. I was shocked to hear of his passing! I will always remember Curt for his willingness to assist me in my aging times with patience, knowledge and goodwill. I will miss Curt Smith dearly! Rest in peace my friend!

It is heartbreaking saying goodbye to Uncle Curt. He was one of the most intelligent, and patient people I ever ever known. I am so grateful for all his support, advise and presence in my life since I was a young girl. He was loved by our extended family like a second Father and Grandfather. We will miss you and keep you in our hearts.
