Very sorry to hear this. For those that don't know, Curt was very active in the Friendship Fire Association (the DC group) and their Wagon Pipe newsletter. He was also a well-known FAJ contributor.
Rest easy, Curt.

Saw many of his posts and pics with the FFA Newsletter sent to DCFD houses, and a FAJ now and then. Never met the man, and if I did, it may have been with him on the Canteen Unit. A credit to his field, may he rest in peace.
Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
Curt was a true gentleman, a great apparatus buff and more, a good friend! He will be missed!
Curt was my good friend. He was originally from the Boston area and had many friends there.
RIP my friend.
