I will miss Curry's good humor and friendly attitude he portrayed everytime I was with him. I first me Curry in 1998 at the Fiero Club meet right after I bought my first Fiero. We hit it off right away and was eventually his Vice President in the club. I will always have very fond memories of Curry. Curry was and always will be know to me as a friend.

Curry was a good man. His determination led the Fiero owner's community here in Hampton Roads to pull together as a group. He was instrumental in bringing 300+ Fiero owners from out of state to have a National event here with great success. Always willing to lend a hand, quick with a smile.
His presence here with us will be missed......

This candle is for you, Skip. Keep it lit, as you are "this little light of mine". (One of my favorite songs we sang at folk masses was "This Little Light of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine...") Keep it shinin'!

Curry will be truly missed here at the York Manufacturing Facility. He had a quick and genuine smile that everyone welcomed. He was taken from us much too soon. Wishing Maryvonne and his other family members solace in their grief ...
