John Curley Obituary
Jack graduated from East Bridgewater High School and the University of Massachusetts. He began his career as a marine biologist with Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries then transitioned to building custom homes on Cape Cod and Florida. Known for his craftsmanship, Jack created spaces where families made happy memories.
Jack was a devoted husband to his beloved Angela (Froio) Curley for 61 years. Survived by his sister Eileen LaRosa of Massachusetts, his sons Kevin Curley (Beverly) of Rotunda West, Florida and David Curley (Janet) of Maine. Also survived by his cherished grandchildren, Stephen Curley, Taylor Guillerm, Bridget Curley and Griffin Curley.
An avid sailor he found peace on the water with Angela aboard their sloop Ragnar. Their adventures included Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and the Caribbean. They also visited Italy where Jack enjoyed the architecture and gelato.
Jack's legacy of hard work and love for his family and friends will endure. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations in Jack's memory may be made to Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida.

Angela and Eileen, I am so sorry to hear of Jack´s passing. Jack and I were playmates from age 4 or 5. He was a good friend and neighbor all through school. Our many class reunions helped us all to reconnect and stay connected for all these many many years. I always looked forward to seeing him at the reunions. It won´t be the same without him. My condolences also to his sons and their families also. Jack was one of the good guys. RIP my friend.
