Tom was one of our dearest friends. He and Pearl stood up with us when we got married. We have many wonderful memories of fishing with Tom. He included us in many Curry family gatherings and fish fry´s over the years. He was so much fun to be around and was a great friend. We loved him and will miss him terribly.

I met Mr. Curry through his daughter decades ago. He was so warm and welcoming, it was a joy to be around him. I'm sure he'll be missed by his family and many others. May they be comforted by the good memories they shared with him!

As soon as I saw your smile, I knew it was you Tom. I never knew your last name, we just always had good chats and didn´t get into particulars. I sure will miss you. Condolences to your family who I know you loved dearly.

I was saddened to learn of Tom's passing. Seeing his smiling face brought back so many memories. My late husband (prior military) used to enjoy chatting over a well shined shoe and fresh haircut. Tom was always a true gentleman. Praying your family has many joyful memories to ease this time of loss.
