Curtis was born October 11, 1951, at Langdon, ND, to Harold and Lauretta (Reed) Wenzel. He was raised in Loam Township and graduated from Langdon High School. Curt served his country in the National Guard. He joined his father and later his brother on the family farm working with cattle and raising crops. The three men also owned and operated Wenzel Vault Company. Curtis enjoyed learning about better ways to market his crops and was proud of the beef he produced. While Curt was married to Kathy (Krom), they welcomed a son Kyle. Curt thoroughly enjoyed following Kyle’s high school wrestling matches and football games. Curt and Kyle spent many good times on the farm and enjoyed hunting together. Curt farmed until poor health forced him to retire. Having spent some time in a nursing home, he was able to move out and live independently again. Most recently, Curt had enjoyed being a grandpa.
