My deepest sympathy to the Kurtz family on the sudden loss of your beloved husband, father and grandfather Maurice. He was a childhood friend of my late husband Irv in Winnipeg, and Young Judea chum. He was also in my Peretz School evening class. May his memory be for a blessing! Sadly, Esther (Garfinkel) Weinstein, now of Vancouver. - Posted by: Esther (Garfinkel) Weinstein (Friend) on: Oct 08, 2014
