I'm on a blog role...but I just wanted to share my Deepest of Sympathy to all of Kurt's friends. Last week when the 1500+ people paid their respects to us, flying and driving in from around the country, I was in absolute shock. Kurt touched so many peoples' lives. He was friends with some of you for over 30-40 years whether it was from Homewood/Flossmoor OR 24 years +10 months (as I was informed by the HR dept.) at Salomon, Smith Barney, Travelers, Citi (did I name them all!). Some of you stood shoulder to shoulder with Kurt for 8+ hours a day for years, like brothers.
It breaks my heart to think about losing any of my friends, each and everyone of them are special in their own way, whether it's laughter, support, strength or fun. My heart is heavy for all of you, knowing you lost such a silly, goofy, smiley, grumpy, shakey, hard working, helpful, life-loving, dedicated friend--Kurt. I am so, so sorry. My friends are my pillars, I know you were his.
Thank you for loving him. He loved all of you too as you can read by his old posts. Thank you for your love and support for me and the children. The outpour of friends from all directions will keep us strong. And when we aren't strong, we know where to turn because friends are God's gifts.
xoxo

Still there for you and the kids, Jani. Do not hesitate to text or pick up the phone and call if you need help, just to hear a voice similar to Kurt's, or an ear to chat.
Love,
Greg
I am so proud of you Jani, how lucky I am to have a wonderful daughter like you.
I know Kurt is hanging out with you at Mortons and watching over his terrific family.
I love you very much.
