Mr. Curry dropped off several boxes of books at the Nesbitt Memorial Library in Columbus, Texas last year. A Baby Book containing written-in info for Keys III, John, and Margaret was included, probably unintentionally. Please call me at 979-732-3392 for an address where it can be sent. I regret that I did not contact Mr. Curry and I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Margaret & Leo, Ursula, Kieran and family here, in Ireland, and we were very sad to hear of your loss. Your father was a lovely man and we enjoyed his gentle company when he came over for the Hamily Family reunion in Hilltown. I particularly remember being with him when we all went to the Irish American Folk Park in Omagh, he was enjoying the day but at one stage in the exhibtion hall he sat down and I enquired of him if he was alright and he replied 'just resting'. I also have a lovely picture of yourselves and Keyes sitting down for breakfast around mid-day, the craic was good and he was making a fair contribution of his own, he also has a broad smile, there was good banter being exchanged ! We send you, your brother and extended family our condolences and good memories of your father, Ursula, Kieran, Niamh, Fionnbharr, Eoin, Sarah, Laurence, Ciara & Ellen. Ag Criost An Siol, (to Christ the seed- a traditional blessing in Irish)

To The Family of Keys A. Curry, Jr. We feel your deep loss of Keys, who was a person of such practical intelligence, wisdom and character. He, nor his equally remarkable partner, Joan, cannot be replaced, but through your own qualities, talents, and abilities you can look forward to your continuing the fine Curry tradition of excellence in your pursuits.
With Love to All,

Both Joan, through her unstinting service to the Liberal Arts at UT, and Keys, through so many areas but to us particularly his incredibly selfless service to Phi Psi, have touched our lives and will be long, and lovingly, remembered.

Your Father was a good man. I've only met him once but he was really nice to all of us. I know you will all miss him, but he's in a better, happier place now. His body gave up, but now his spirit is free.

Dear Curry family. I knew and respected Keys and all he did for the Engineering School and Phi Kappa Psi. We will miss him very much. He was a great example of giving back for all of us.

Well, we all have traveled the long road. Midland is long ago in the rear view mirror...but yet so fresh in our memories.

It was always such a pleasure to know Keys. His friendship, his kindness, his character just made you proud to be a part of his life. We will miss him, but down deep, we know he is smiling today, being back with those loved ones who proceeded him.

God Bless the Curry family, and Keys, Hook 'em Horns!!!! RIP
