My thoughts, prayers and all my love go out to Joe, Louise and Ken. As well as all his friends and family that survive him. So many memories were made while growing up with the Kurt family. I hold them all close in my heart. May Bill find peace as he reunites with his family in Heaven and all left behind find peace and comfort...knowing that he is no longer in pain and has left all of you with the love he has for you. Love you Bill.
