Curt was born on May 20, 1951 in Manitowoc, WI the son of John and Marion (Allen) Erickson. He was very conscientious about our environment and tried to go green, often walking instead of driving. Curt was very active and greatly enjoyed biking, rollerblading and playing tennis. He loved the outdoors and found great splendor in the beauty of simply being outside, especially in the fall of the year. Curt was very fond of his aquarium and took good care of his fish, he even had a fresh water shark and golden severms. He was very active in AA and took great pride in the fact that he was once there but now had the courage, strength and tenacity to walk with and support others. Curt was also a basketball fanatic and to him the best time of the year was March Madness as he would plan his vacation around it. The greatest pride and joy of his life was truly his children- he was a loving and wonderful father to Melissa and Evan.
