Christopher Francis Kurek

West Point, 1977

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Mark A. Ellis on April 27, 2016:

Chris was a great friend and brother to so many of us. As others have remembered, he had the greatest sense of humor. His last email to me was full of classic Chris humor. We were in the same beast squad, two skinny guys with blonde hair and Army issued birth control glasses. Upper classmen confused us for each other. I suspect Chris caught more from being confused for me than I did by being confused for him. E-4 was a special part of our lives and Chris contributed immensely to making it that way. Although our paths never crossed after graduation, I had the pleasure of communicating with him by email. We lost Chris way too early and he will be sorely missed.
