Brent, I’m Roy Duncan. I lived in the yellow frame house across the road from Darryl Murphy. We talked a few times when you would go down the gravel road to Ray Matherne’s house behind me. I saw you a few times at Brian’s supermarket and we would chat. I just wanted to convey my heartfelt condolences to you and your family over the loss of your dad. I’ve been praying for your family. I know y’all take solace in knowing he is reunited with your sister Shari in heaven. God bless and comfort you and your family and friends.

Our Class of 1974 is saddened by the loss of our classmate Kurt. He wasn’t just a classmate—he was our dear friend!! Kurt was an awesome athlete, Our Most Handsome ‘73 and Our Class Favorite of ‘74. Through the last 50 years Kurt became a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who will be greatly missed. Our love and prayers go out to Patsy and the entire family. Our 74 Class doesn’t know what tomorrow holds BUT WE DO KNOW WHO HOLDS IT—and that is the most important thing❣️
