Our families were very close. Though Kurt and I didn't fraternize a lot in school, we took camping vacations together at Webber Lake and in a rented cabin on the American River at Kyburz and our parent's socialized togeqther a great deal. Kurt and I would go fishing and hiking while our parents played bridge. I have notes about one of our adventures together in my book project journal. Kurt's dad was our dentist and associate Dean at UCSF School of Dentistry. He got me interested in dentistry, health care and academic curosity. It led to me attending UCSF. The Lundblad's were an influential force in my family's life. I send my heartfelt condolences to Kurt's survivors and thank them for his service to our country..

BIOGRAPHY
When asked how he wanted to be remembered Kurt replied,
"I was a peacemaker, I always tried to do the right thing. I loved
and was loved in return."
Kurt was a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. He attended
Miramonte High School and was a graduate of the University of
Colorado. He received his commission in the Navy to Ensign
through the Aviation Officer Candidate Program in April 1966. His
first assignment was as an attack pilot flying the A-7 Corsair II
from the USS ENTERPRISE as a part of Attack Squadron 146. During
this cruise he flew 52 combat missions in Vietnam. He rose to the
rank of Captain in his military career. At the end of his active duty
he flew first for Western Airlines then Delta Airlines until his
retirement. He and his wife, Anne, have been members of St.
Mark's church for 7 years.
God saw he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around him
And whispered 'Come with me'
With tearful eyes we see him suffer,
And watch him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly
We could not make him stay
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
A memorial service will be Thursday, August 7th at 11:00am in the
small chapel at St. Mark's Catholic Church (2727 W. Tangerine Rd.,
Oro Valley, AZ 85737)
Final resting place is to be decided and memorials may be made to
the charity of your choice.
The Lundblad family wishes to thank everyone for the show of
love, support and kindness received.
