On May 1, 2015, we unexpectedly lost our friend and partner John M. Curney, Jr. John was a loving husband and father who would do anything for the loves of his life, Patty, and his children Will and Zeke. He was an avid fisherman and a born leader – wise, confident, decisive, generous, unselfish, compassionate, fair, and straight forward. He would give a person in need the shirt off of his back, and has helped more people, youth organizations, students, and charities than can be listed. He was a fierce adversary – the fish and opponents never really had a chance. John’s personality was larger than life itself. Knowing John, we are confident that he is holding Court in heaven – while the angels marvel at his ability to tell a story. We will miss him.
