After working at the Lafayette Creamery and as a hired man for local farmers for a few years, he studied bookkeeping at Mankato Business College and took a bookkeeping position with a car dealership in Fairfax.

Those who knew Curt will remember him for his kindness and generosity, his eagerness to help others, his devotion to family and church, his uncanny ability to fix most anything, and his love of hard work. In fact, it wasn't many years ago that he could be found up on the scaffolding helping paint someone's house, mowing his half-acre of grass or helping his kids with house projects.
