Curt worked for the City of Cedar Rapids Water Department for many years. He retired from there and spent the rest of his days visiting friends and family.

In the more recent years, he participated in bell ringing around the holidays and loved it. He also spent a lot of his time collecting food and other things for those in need.
He was loved and will be missed by many. Cards can be sent to his niece, Tiffany Taube, 2109 Ninth St. SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404.
