I met Mr. Curry at First Baptist Church of Glenarden over 20 years ago. He quickly took me under his wing, like a second father. We later became business partners, where he continued to coach and encourage me. I will never forget the love and support he showed me. God rest your soul, Mr. Curry. You will be missed...
