I just got a email from his wife about this. Man, what a shame, what a great guy Kurt was. I just got a barrel back on Monday that he worked on for me. The industry has just lost a very talented man. Here is a link to the news story....Kurt Wala |

I'm very sorry to hear this. Kurt did some real nice work for me last year. He was working on a '65 pan so we hit it off pretty well as far as you can via e-mail. My condolences to his family.

A kink to this was posted over on the retro fourm - I didn't know him personally, but everything I ever heard about him was good. From what I understand, he did stellar work. My condolences to his family and friends.

I was looking forward to some of his work. My condolences.

I will be going to Kurt's house tomorrow to see about getting some of my stuff back. I still have my claim tag, can't believe I did noit toss it. I hope there are no problems as although Kurt seemed to be a hell of a guy, he was SWAMPED with work and the shop is loaded with parts and projects.
Hope I don't run into trouble or issues... |

Kurt will be greatly missed by everyone he has touched throughout his life. He did some barrel work for me about a year ago. He knew more about the modifications I wanted than I did. He had the answers to questions I hadn't even thought of. I'm a biker myself and I know he died doing something he loved.
Rest in peace brother. Doc |

He did great work for great prices. He also took the time to look at custom projects that others would have turned down. We lost a good one here

Just my opinion, but it might be more tasteful to wait a week or two... just out of simple respect for the guy and his family. I guarantee you, they are probably a little busy with arrangements and dealing with grief right now. Probably not too concerned about the business right this moment. Just sayin.

I have stopped in there many times so it's not like I'm a simple customer or stranger. I'll just go by and express my condolences. IF the issue comes up, maybe I can help his wife/family get things settled WHEN THEY ARE READY to do so. |

I have some things at his shop right now too. I've met Kurt, but never his family. Can anyone advise me on what I should do? I don't want to intrude, certainly, and I have no problem waiting a week or so before driving through Bushnell. I'd also like to offer my condolences personally. He was a patriot, a hard-worker, and a genius. He'll certainly be missed by many

The man did what Bushmaster couldnt. Was an artist/ visionary IMO. BMs are the best Bullpups. Kurt made them that way.
