Hard worker, for sure! Smart, absolutely. Into drugs and trashy crap...NEVER! Many an evening he&#039;d be at my house visiting after work, he would never have more than a couple of beers, he had to drive home. I think this was a hit. Why? I have no idea. But certainly Kurt liked to talk. Apparently, he pissed somebody off. I am quite concerned by Marta, why did she survive, no problemo? It would be so sad if she were involved, Kurt cared deeply for her, and her daughters. Kurt would absolutely hate for people to think he was any kind of wuss. He owned all kinds of guns, and knew how to use them. Those of us who care about Kurt need to keep pushing until we find out why.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would not say Kurt was simple! Hard worker, for sure! Smart, absolutely.
