I was stunned and saddened to hear this news yesterday. Curt and I have known each other since junior high, and were coworkers for the Escondido Union
High School District. We've shared many Baja stories together. I had just heard from Curt the other day, and saw him on Tuesday night at a school
board meeting. I was dumfounded to hear of his untimely death. Life is precious... hug the ones you love. I will miss you Curt.

Sorry for your loss of a good friend, Andy. We'll never know your pain.

Andy, it's been almost 10 years since we met "out there!" and I can't wait for the next time out paths cross.
Curt will enjoy many waves and cervezas if I have anything to say about it!!!!
All you guys who care, every time you go "out there!" you should call out "This one is for Curt!!!!" before you drop-in to a Macker.
I'll do it for you and I hope you'll do it for me! Kinda like a bond between brothers......

Ditto. I liked his posts as well. They were always so level headed. He will certainly be missed here.
I had hoped it wasn't him but recent posts reveal that it is. So sad.

I will do it. Next Baja wave (and a few more) I will give respect to Curt, who, like the teacher he was, taught me about a certain area of Baja that
I was unfamiliar with. I always hoped to see him in the Oceanside North Jetty Parking Lot, where he would go from time to time. Sorry we never met.
Shaking my head in disgust that I never met this great human.

Sad to go so young. I too lost a young friend recently.
We were stunned. No way to explain it or figure it out. Just have to accept and move forward.

Oh No. Way too young. What a great guy and wonderful Husband and Father! I am reading this for the first time after arriving here in BCS. I talked
on the phone with Curt in early October. As always, he was full of energy as we talked about a visit this fall. Like many of you I met Curt down
here in Baja on the beaches of Pescadero. Last October he used my van & stayed at my place with his wife. Oh so sad for his family. Can't
believe it. May God Bless You, Amigo. Tomas
