John M. "Jack" Curley

John M. "Jack" Curley, age 85, of Jensen Beach, FL, formerly of Bala Cynwyd, PA, passed away on September 16, 2017. Born in Philadelphia to the late John V. and Ann Curley (nee Fitzsimmons). Jack was an Entrepreneur. John M. Curley grew up in Bala Cynwyd where he enjoyed a paper route, double features at the Greek's, and basketball at nearby Narberth playground. Jack attended St. Matthias School, then ?St. Joe's Prep, then University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. He played on the Penn basketball team where he participated in all the "big" games - big wins and big losses. He graduated in 1954, served in the Air Force for two years then joined IBM as a district sales manager. In 1964, he distinguished himself by installing the first IBM system to handle drivers' licenses in Harrisburg. After leaving IBM, he bought a medical supply company, Numedco which he ran successfully for 20 years. During those years he acquired Alden Supply Co., PX Imaging, RescuMed, and Brotherston Medical Supply. In 1991, he established Lite Tech Inc., an x-ray supplies manufacturing company still located in Bridgeport. He also owned a handful of businesses and start-ups: a car wash, an apartment complex, an order processing company, IBI, and a tax services company, Touch EZ Tax. He also spent many years working on his "magic move" at the Philadelphia Country Club where he was an active golfer for 43 years. As a grandfather, he was a season ticket holder for softball, soccer, lacrosse, St. Christopher's Christmas shows, and golf tournaments. A consummate reader, Jack often quoted Emerson, "A measure of a man's wealth is not his bank account, but how many friends he has." He is survived by his loving children and their spouses, Lori Curley Unterkoefler and Alex, John Michael Curley and Lacey; Chuck Curley and Robbie; his former wife, Sara B. Curley; his adoring grandchildren, Lizzie, Sara, Julia, Charlie and Ry Curley; Emma and Willy Unterkoefler. And too many friends to count.
