Our deepest sympathy to the Diede family. Curt was a great guy that we loved spending time with at the poker table. We will never forget that little grin he always had. And we will miss him dearly. May God wrap his arms around you and help to get you through this difficult time.

Curt will be missed by many people in all spectrums of his life! I will miss seeing him and asking him how are you doing. Then his comment was always good and smile! Knowing he was not doing good, but that was our little conversation! Loved him and will miss his smile and conversation. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
