William C. Curnow III

I was in his John Dickinson Band many, many years ago and he was a very special teacher. He inspired me and so many others. We were all upset when he moved back to Easton, but knew that's where he wanted to be.

Bill and I were classmates at WCU. I just this year connected with him at Facebook. So sorry to hear of this. My condolences to the whole family.

My heart was saddened to learn of Mr. Curnow's passing. Most of the important lessons that I have learned in life regarding commitment, dedication, pursuing excellence, and discipline have their roots from being under Mr. Curnow's leadership in the WAHS Band.

It was a privilege and honor to have learned from such a wise mentor. My...

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Curnow family, most especially to
Beverly.
Bill was a good friend and confidant.
I enjoyed our many times playing side by side with the Allentown Band.
Together we attended a number of International Trumpet Guild events and we shared the same political views. I did however fail in my attempts to have Bill experience a pedicure.
He was taken from us much too soon.
I will miss him greatly.
Bill - Rest In Peace

Mr. Curnow made the WHS band wonderful. It was fun to work with the band when he was band director. I loved to hear him play the trumpet. Rest in Peace Mr. Curnow.

What a wonderful privilege it was to get to know Bill when he freelanced at the Express. I'll be forever grateful for his genuine warmth, good humor and inspiration. I'm glad he really never stopped teaching, because he taught me plenty (and never held it against me that I'm a Nazareth grad). Praying for his family, friends and thousands whose lives he touched, that they'd find comfort, and perhaps a reason to smile in recalling the corniest of puns and that twinkle in his eyes. Godspeed,...
