How sad to learn of the passing of this wonderful man. His commitment to the betterment of the mental health of Missourians will be long remembered. IN sympathy, Cindi Keele, Director, NAMI Missouri

We just heard the news. We are so sorry. What a wonderful man and what a great loss. He was one of a kind and and we will see few like him ever again. We are praying for your family. Bob and Carole Koscielny

Mrs. Curry, I remember the day in Sept. 1986 when you made your vows to each other in the Sanctuary of Calvary Baptist and how happy you both seemed. Mr. Curry made so many wonderful contributions to the Lord's work at Calvary Baptist Church in Kansas City, and through many other organizations. Sherri, my wife, joins me in praying for you as you adjust to the absence of Mr. Curry's presence. May God's peace and comfort abide with you. Sincerely Fred & Sherri Willard Fishel

My heart goes out to all of the loved ones of this wonderful man.

I will always remember Charles Curry and his courage and support for the Equal Rights Amendment. He stood for equality when so many of his colleagues wanted to ignore it or look the other way. I am most grateful that I had an opportunity to know this wonderful man.

Dear Charlotte

My heart felt compassion goes out to you at this very difficult time. Charles was indeed a good man and you were so good for him. Grieve well... this is a great loss. And remember to be kind to yourself.

It was because of his efforts that Kansas City, Missouri, is the city it is today with a charter form of government which he was responsible for pushing through. When he formed the Committee for County Progress, using his own personal funding to do so, it was the beginning of bringing honest and efficient government to Jackson County and to Kansas City, Missouri. Someone of his calibre and commitment does not...
