Curt worked the majority of his career at General Motors where he served as a Senior Project Manager. Throughout his life he had a passion for cars and was especially fond of his 1934 Auburn. He painstakingly restored the Auburn one piece at a time until the project was completed. Curt had a servant’s heart and was always concerned about the needs of others.

He was also a Cub Scout Leader and took a group of young men to the Philmont Scout Camp in New Mexico in brand new GM station wagons that were donated by Curt’s employer.
