He worked for over 20 years in maintenance at the Vernon Company. Curt was an avid fan of NASCAR, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Iowa State Cyclones. He and his brother, Larry, a Hawkeye fan enjoyed a good-natured sibling rivalry and ribbing over whether the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones were better. Curt was also very handy and loved to tinker on projects and work on cars.
