It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death on January 17th of Curtis Carl Verschoor, age 87. Curt was the Ledger and Quill professor of accountancy at DePaul University since 1974 (emeritus since 1994). He authored 12 books and more than 250 journal articles, in addition to a monthly column on business ethics, which he faithfully wrote until a few weeks prior to his passing.
Curt is survived by his devoted wife of 66 years, Marie Emilie (Kritschgau) Verschoor. He is also survived by his children and their spouses: Katherine (Jerry Grimson) Verschoor, Carolyn (Greg) Kirschner, John (Susan) Verschoor, and Carla (Rein) Verschoor Kirss, twelve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Jack.
A memorial service will be held at the Barrington United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Barrington United Methodist Church, 98 Algonquin Road, Barrington, IL 60010.
Our deepest sympathies to the Verschoor family.
