Louis Curd Obituary
He was born in Roanoke on August 25, 1941; attended Jefferson High School, and graduated from Roanoke College in the 70's.
He was the former President of Professional Ophthalmic Laboratories (POL) in Roanoke.
He is survived by a sister, Diane Strickler; a niece, Scarlett Fitzgerald; and a nephew, Ivey Webster; good friends, Bill Webster and Bruce Jacobson.
People remember Big Lou for his skill at the billiard table and pool hall located years ago inside the downtown Sportsman. He loved a good game of golf and he avidly played his guitar, preferring the genre of Peter, Paul and Mary. He couldn't sing a lick, however.
Lou was 82 at the time of his death. He had struggled years with Alzheimer's.
Please remember his dry sense of humor.
May he rest in peace. Happy Birthday.
