There was no man more loyal and kind than my closest childhood friend, Kurt Weinzetl. He came from a family of strong Slavic traditions, which he cherished. I was honoured to be his best man when he and his beloved wife Debbie Dean were married nearly 38 years ago. That special union remained strong until Kurt's untimely death in March 2022. Kurt and Debbie were blessed with two fine sons, Ryan and Kyle, to whom I extend my warmest condolences along with the Dean Family, Nikki, Lili, Karen and Josh. My partner, brother, sister and I will never forget Kurt. May he rest peacefully with the Weinzetl and Kusmic Families and for all eternity.
