To the family,
We are saddened by the death of Curt. We met Curt when we attended Ole Time Baptist Church. He was loved by his church family. He was a friend to everyone. He loved his music and spent a lot of time getting music prepared for the church services. I will be praying for each of you during this very sad time. We do know that the Bible gives us assurance that if we too know Jesus as our Lord and Savior that we will be reunited with our loved ones in Heaven. God Bless each of you.

Delana & family, Our hearts hurt over the passing of Curt. Our hearts also rejoice in the fact that one day we will see Curt and his beaming smile again in heaven! Curt's heart was one of gold, dedicated to serving the Lord Jesus Christ through his beautiful music, his many talents, his sense of humor, and the many jobs he did to keep his church beautiful. Curt was such a big part in everyone's life at Old Time Baptist Church. Can't you just see Curt now sitting at a heavenly organ, playing and smiling that big ole' Curt smile ?!!! We will continue to lift you up to the Lord and ask Him to wrap you in His comforting arms and reassuring promise that those who name the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior will see Curt again.

I am in shock about Curt'S passing. I worked with him at Eden Yarns for six years and loved to stop by and talk to him. He was always picking at me, wanted to teach me to run his spinning frames while he was on break. I was very fond of him and enjoyed talking to him. I always looked him up when I went to Lowes to say hey and chat. My heartfelt prayers go out to his family during this very sad time. I will miss seeing his smilimg face. Gail Carter, Reidsville, NC

So honored to have known you and I will miss you so much. I know that you are up there with our JESUS, playing the organ in that Heavenly Choir. That was one of your goals in life to play a grand organ and the one you are playing now is the grandest!!!You were just like a younger brother and the tears flow everytime I remember you. It is going to be hard to get use to you not being apart of all that we do at the Church...you were there when you could be, with that smile and that laugh and your grumpness at times. I know that you are in the arms of JESUS, with loving memories. Your friend Ann Gover
