Celebration of Life and Community Support

In honor of Kurt’s vibrant spirit, a celebration of life will be held at The Barn at the Farm Table in Bernardston, Massachusetts, on November 29, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Trish has requested that attendees dress in warm colors rather than black, emphasizing a desire to celebrate Kurt’s life rather than mourn his passing.
