To Carlton, Maynard, Crystal and Byron,
I met your father 20 years ago when I moved to DC and began working in Single Family Housing. I will always remember his smile. He was kind, caring and loving with such a big heart to help anyone who needed him. I had no family here, but he took time out to help me adjust. He taught me so much about life and loving myself and he introduced me to DC and all it has to offer. He held my hand and prayed with me through difficult times and treated my daughter like one of his own. I thank him for so much and and think of him daily. My prayers are with you and your family. You should know he was very proud of his children. May your memories continue to comfort you. My memories are of a dear close friend I loved who was always there for me and will be missed.

I met Maynard in 1974 as a 1st year student at ASL. Maynard impressed me with his quiet demeanor and self-confidence. I have not seen or spoken with him in years. He is a strong spirit and I am honored to have met and studied with him.

I just turned to the computer to check on my dear old friend today and learned of his passing. He and I would do that-- be it him stopping at my 1st law office here in Dayton over 20 yrs ago or my getting H.U.D advice from him. We met as Antioch S. of L. classmates in '74 and have remained forever friends. Always kind words from Maynard, I send my heartfelt condolences to his family in return. He has made me aware of my own mortality....

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Maynard's passing. I've known Maynard since I've been at HUD. I know there are no words that can truly comfort you at this time but know that you all have my deepest and sincerest sympathies on Maynard's passing. He was a sweet man and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Maynard was in the Antioch class of 77, I was in the 78 class. We were small, but everyone knew each other. What I remember most about him is that bright smile and pleasant personality. I saw him at his 30th Renuion and he shared with me the special moments and excitment of his children and their accomplishment. He is with God now, and we all know he has received his rightful room in the Mansion. He's in God's protective arms now, where he will enjoy peaceful and eternal rest. God bless the entire Curry family.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I was a student with Maynard at ASL and in the same class as him. While I had not seen him for awhile, when I read the post of Robert Mandel I thought that is how I remembered Maynard. A person with a great sense of humor, a smile that lit up the room and a big heart. The world certainly could use more people like hime.

That is something rarer than you might think. I will truly miss him and am exceptionally saddened by his loss. I know how difficult this is for his family, and I can only offer my deepest regrets regarding this loss. You have my sympathy.

We were at Jefferson Jr. High when we met (around age 12 or 13), and for all the years I've known Maynard he was always the same -kindhearted, patient, caring, and spirit filled. I will truely miss him. My love to the family.

I first met Maynard in my freshman year at Antioch School of Law. He was in the class ahead of me. I remember him as a kind, easy going person with a strong desire to help others and a great sense of humor. To his family I encourage you to be strong in the Lord and with His help and guidance you will get through this difficult time. To his children I think you should know how proud he was of you. When I ran into your father at the last Antioch reunion the first thing he did was pull out a recent photograph of you and him posed together and recite your many fine accomplishments. Although he is no longer physically with you he will always be with you in spirit and in your hearts.
Best wishes always,
Dianne Harris
