Curt grew up in Minnetonka, MN and graduated from Minnetonka High School in 1955. He married Faye Conzet in 1957. He received his master plumber license from Dunwoody shortly after high school. He moved his family from Hopkins, MN to Crystal, MN in 1962 where he worked as a plumber. In 1967, he again moved together with his family of 4 children to Washburn, WI near Ashland, WI where he started a plumbing business. He married Marilyn Nelson in 1977 after making the difficult decision to part ways from his first wife. He became a Union Pipefitter and he and Marilyn travelled the country by RV so that he could work on the “bigger” union jobs. Often the jobs were converting power plants from one source to another. They lived and worked in many states including Florida, New Hampshire, Oregon, Washington and Arizona among others. Curt retired in 1998 and lived the rest of his life in the Sunsites and Pearce Arizona areas together with his wife Marilyn. In his younger years, Curt enjoyed fishing and hunting. Throughout his life he loved to grow vegetables and even planted an apple tree in Arizona. In his retirement years, he loved panning for gold. He would sometimes go on a 2-day solo trip and drive several miles out of town to pan for gold in Cochise County, Arizona. He also loved to take people on tours of the “countryside” in Cochise County. The Chiricahua National Monument, Cochise Stronghold, Middlemarch Pass and Tombstone, AZ were some of his favorite destinations. If you knew Curt, you knew that he loved to visit whether he just met you or had known you his entire life. His deep faith carried him through many dark times, and he was ready to return to his eternal home with our Savior Jesus Christ. His memorial service will be April 13, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. at First Memorial Chapel, 7110 France Avenue South, Edina, MN 55435.
