Curt enjoyed his free time hunting and fishing. He loved his dogs, all named Patches, and time in the kitchen cooking and baking.  He even taught one of his nieces how to make lefse.  Woodworking was also a hobby that he was very good at and enjoyed. 

He was preceded in death by his son Brian Britsch and parents Lemuel and Ella (Stromme) Britsch.

Curt is survived by his loving wife of 49 years Diane, sisters Evonne Costello, Gillette WY, Sandy Norton Britsch, Eagan MN and Sue (Mark) Westgard, Mandan ND, four nieces, one nephew and special friends Percy Martinson and Tamarack Eschbach.
