Virgil Curren Obituary

He enjoyed his retirement years watching and feeding the birds in his backyard, pottering in his greenhouse and flower beds. He cycled for more than 10,000 miles, including three trips across the Mackinaw Bridge. Like all the Curren "boys" he enjoyed cars, especially his Corvettes. Virg is survived by his wife and much-loved children: Karen Curren (David Narance), Matthew Curren (Kara Morrow), Jeremy Curren (Kim Fetter, friend), grandchildren Chloe Wooster, Jordan Wooster, and Addison Morrow-Curren, sister-in-law Pam Curren, nieces, nephews and cousins.

I knew Virg in the middle sixties when I was a department head at Kroger and he worked as a moonlighter on my night stock crew. Most of my crew members were younger so Virg was a person I tended to listen to frequently. I often sought his opinion on various subjects. I respected his view and I believe he had some impact on the success I enjoyed in the coming years. I knew Lianne as her brother ,Ivan, and I were in the scouts together. I lost track of Virg for about 50 years but we became Facebook friends a few years ago. I had no idea he had passed until today when I found his obit on line. I was somewhat surprised to find that we shared a love for Corvettes ,birds and flowers. Virg was a special kind of person that earned the respect of others. My sincere condolences to Lianne and his family.
