George Curry Obituary

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I will always remember George as a kind,caring and professional person. He was a true gentleman.

I’ll always remember George as a down to earth, honest and caring person.

We miss you and your conversations.

Dear Charlene, this is a very sad day for me. I just googled George' s name in an effort to renew contact with you my friends, only to know that George had passed on to heaven. I know he is in heaven because of the person he was and the life he lived. I had the pleasure to work with him at John Hancock.We became friends and of course I got to know you.In all the years I lost contact with you all, George was always on my mind.He was a gentleman in all respects. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. May God grant you the courage to bear this loss and the wisdom to guide your children in their father's values.

There are no words of comfort I can offer to ease the profound pain of George's death. The Curry family and my family have a long and loving connection which will always remain. There is an old Irish saying, "life isn't measured by the years that we live, but by the good deeds with do and the love that we give." George shared his love freely and deeply with those that knew him. We are forever touched by his brief yet profound life. Sending love and healing prayers to the Curry family.

As the weeks go by it becomes more and more apparent just how deeply George's passing has affected his family. He was so very, very special to each one as son, brother, husband and father. Each role forfilled perfectly without apparent effort but with joy and humor. When he is spoken of it is with extreme loss and appreciation for those who expressed their love in a myriad of ways. This world has lost a great soul and we will learn and weep from his great example. I'm praying for you Linda, Leslie, Scott, Char, Ethan, Shannon and wish I could be with you. Love and more love, Aunt Debbie

I worked with George years ago at Mutual of America, and have such fond memories of him. I write this with tears in my eyes, and cannot express deep enough condolences.

Dear Char & Family I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences & prayers are with you always. Patty Finley

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Curry family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with the Curry family at this difficult time.

Dear Family,
I meet up with George recently and talked like it was yesterday when we last saw each other. What wonderful memories of a great man. He was blessed to have such great friends and family.

Dear Charlene and family,
Barbara and I are terribly saddened to hear of George's passing. George was such a great man and we will remember him fondly. Our sincerest condolences.

Charlene, Shannon & Ethan,

We've just learned of your terrible loss, and we send you our sincere prayers and deepest condolences. He was such a wonderful guy, and he will be sorely missed by the many people whose lives he touched.

It says a lot about a man who is loved and respected by everyone he meets. I am lucky to have known George and will miss him very much. Linda,Leslie,Scott,Char,Ethan,Shannon. You all are in my prayers.

My first meeting and recollections of George was when he was ten years old and his aunt Debbie and I had moved to Guilford from Reno, Nevada. Here was this young lad whose love for his family was so evident and for his grandmother and grandfather, Carlo, (not by blood but by love) who swooned his magic that fascinated young George and all of us. His aunt Debbie and I moved back to Nevada and soon to California and although we did not see much of each other we returned for his wedding to his beautiful wife, Char. We just knew that his marriage as his mother's and father's had been would be a lifetime love. We returned to Conn. two years ago to Scott and Elsie's wedding and stayed at George and Char's house for this event and were awed by the love this family showed toward one another. His wonderful mother had kept us up on how the family was doing all these years so we were not surprised at the good life they had made for themselves. It was with deep sorrow we learned of George's passing and the fact that we would not be able to attend the funeral because of an operation I had very recently went through and a serious family problem that came up at the same time. It is with deep sorrow we mourn his passing and we pray for him and family.

Uncle Bill Parnell

Shocked and saddened by the news of Georges death. I know he is with my mom in heaven. He left us to young and to soon. Love and prayers to you all.

Cousin Lisa, Dave Josh and Matt.

So sorry for your loss. I remember George from high school. My prayers to you and your family. He used to hang out w/ my ex Robert Warner.

My fond memories of George go back to 1972, when we met in sixth grade math and discovered we shared a passion for baseball and all sports in general. “Chuck” was a classmate all the way through UConn, where those around him continued to benefit from his generosity and tremendous sense of humor. While our adults paths crossed only incidentally, it was refreshing to bump into him around town and find that he was still as friendly and outgoing as ever. His passing comes far too early, and beyond the obvious sense of loss leaves us with a somber reminder of our own mortality. My condolences go out to all who will miss him. Chuck Curry was one of the good guys.

I'm so very sorry, Char. What a huge hole and what a legacy your dear heart leaves...praying for you, Ethan, Shannon, and the very many who grieve such a great guy. I hope you can feel the enormous love for the rest of your life! Love, the senecal gang

Uncle George had a smile that could fix everything.

Catherine and Elizabeth

I will always remember my cousin George as having a zest for life and an incredible love for his family, above all else. And of course, always that smile and twinkle in his eye. I love you Aunt Linda, Char, Shannon, Ethan, Scott, Leslie and all the rest. My prayers are with you now and will be with you for many days to come.

To the Curry Family, We just found out, we are so sorry to hear the shocking news. Our hearts and thoughts are with you xoxo. the Sutowski Family

Ethan, I'm so sorry to hear about your father passing away. He was a great and incredibly genuine person. Your family will be in my prayers.

Curry family,

I remember first meeting George in middle school. His quiet self-confidence and kindness made befriending him easy. Throughout the tumultuousness of middle school, he treated everyone with respect and earned our respect in turn.

In high school, he grew to be a natural leader who often brought diverse groups together. George could be as goofy and fun-loving as the next person, but it was his sharp intellect and keen ability to size up and react to a situation that kept him at the top of our class.

After high school, I only saw George at our reunions where it was obvious that he had not changed. If anything, he was even more a stand-up guy in whom many people put their well-placed trust.

George will be missed. I'm sure that the best of him has rubbed off on his children.

I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Dear Linda and family. Sorry to hear about George. we have just arrived home from a vacation and Marianne just told me. We are sorry we were unable to attend the services.

Dear Charlene,
I am so sorry to hear the news. I had such a great time reconnecting with you and George at the reunion. He was such a wonderful person. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Char and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. George was a great guy who will be missed. Although it has been many years since our UConn days, I still remember how much you two were in love. And may that love carry you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Charlene, Shannon and Ethan,
Though we never met, I feel I know you so well. I met George over 15 years ago and the moment I met him, I knew I could trust him with my finances. However, I did not know how close of a friend he would become to me. We shared many business lunches together and the discussions always turned to our families, which had many things in common. George was the most caring, honest, loving family man there could be. He was so proud of his family and loved you so much. Please know that he will be fondly remembered by so many and during his short life he inspired all of us. My prayers will always be with you.

Dear Linda and family,

I've just been told of your son, George's passing and my heart is broken for you. I will keep you all in my morning Mass intentions.

With much love,

Connee O'Neill
(formerly of St George's morning Mass family)

Aunt Linda, Leslie and Charlene,

Sorry we couldn't be there in person but we're there in spirit. We LOVE YOU GUYS and keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers GEORGE WE LOVE YOU MAN!!

Jody, Teresa, Savanna Curry

This is the saddest funeral in the whole world. George gave so much and still had so much to give. He lived so well and had so much more to live. That sparkle in his eye will be with us always. Char, Ethan, Shannon, Linda, Leslie, Scott and the rest of the family we love you so much and wish were with you.

Peace and strength,

Aunt Debbie

Dear Char and Family,

I am so very sorry for the loss of George. I think about how generously he shared his knowledge and financial advice when I was employed at Hole in the Wall. I very much remember his kindness, the sparkle in his eye, and his warm personality. I have also heard so many times of the warmth, love and connection in your family. I can only imagine your devastation. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Karen Carlson

I am so sorry for your loss. I admired George so much over the last few years. He began our friendship years ago after a game, somewhere, by introducing himself as Ethan's dad. He always had such nice things to say, supportive and had a great perspective. Two weeks ago in Beverly he told us how happy he was for Ethan matching so nicely with school. George was a great role model for us all and will be missed. My entire family sends our sympathy
Joan Sauvigne Kirsch

I am so sorry to hear about George's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Shannon, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was clearly loved very much by everyone who knew him. Hang on to those many wonderful memories. I'm thinking of you.
Andy

George was our organization's financial advisor and even though we were a small organization he always made us feel that we were the most important account. His kindness, attentiveness and sense of humor will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to family members.
Stephen Karp, NASW/CT

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Our prayers are always with you. Thank you George for all you've done to help with Tim and our family.
Love to you always, Tim, Kelly, Kelsey and Tim Proctor.

Words are not enough to describe what a wonderful, kind, compassionate, caring person George/"Chuck" was. I am lucky enough to have known him since our Baldwin days. So many great memories, he embraced each day and made the best of every situation. As a family, each of you brought much joy to George's life. Your loss is immeasurable, and I hope the happy memories will help to sustain you all through this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

My heartfelt condolences to Scott, Elsie and the rest of Curry Family. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

May the memories put a smile on your faces and joy in your hearts!

With Love,
Debbie Bulger

You are in my thoughts, Char and the Curry family. My deepest condolences to you all. xo

Charlene, My deepest sympathies to you, Shannon, and Ethan. I hope that time leaves you with warm memories of a life well-lived.

Too soon and too sad. My deepest sympathies to the Curry family.

Shannon, your father sounds like a wonderful man. I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time. Kera

Our deepest sympathy to the Curry family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

George was awesome- I met him , a long time ago, as Skip's and Guy's cousin and got to know him as a funny, intelligent and sports loving guy. In my heart his spirit will forever exist.

Dear Charlene and family, Although we never met, we feel we came to know you and your children over the years. We have been working with George since his days with Mutual of America. He watched our children grow up and shared stories of his own family, of which one could tell right away, he was extrmemly proud. There was a comfortableness he exuded that we will sorely miss. We extend our deepest sympathy to you, your children and all of George's family.

To the Curry family,

I always looked forward to my semi-annual meetings with George in his office. He treated me like a member of his family, and his thoughtful advice was always shared with a warm smile, and a kind word. I know that my family is one of many whose lives he has touched both personally and professionally. He will be missed dearly by his friends and the greater Guilford community.

Barbara and I always thought of George as a friend. I will miss him so much. We would always talk sports and still have time for serious financial planning.

I am so sorry you are gone George. Always a smile, with a positive attitude. Beautiful blue eyes and a warm heart. I will hold many happy memories of you and your family while visitng at the lake and it seems like yesterday.
Love ya!

Dear Mrs. Curry and family, I was very saddened to hear of your loss. As a client of George's, I felt so comfortable and supported as though he was a good friend. He will always have a special place in my heart. Peace . Linda Friez, Watertown,CT

Dear Char,

My heart goes out to you and Shannon and Ethan at this very sad time. George left you all way too early and so unexpectedly. I hope all the happy memories you have will fill your hearts with love and joy in the days and years ahead. He will be missed by family and so many friends. My thoughts are with you all.

There truly are no words ..... "Chuckhead" !!!! Really always had family n friends first... I kno ... my heart aches too

My sympathy, prayers and love to you. George was my class president and a happy guy! I remember seeing him at UCONN and later on Whitney Avenue in New Haven where he worked for some financial company. Although, I haven't seen him in years my memories of George will always be wonderful. May god sooth your souls during this difficult time. Jo-Ann Morasky House

We first met George for business matters. At the very first meeting we knew how special he was. Always patient and kind, he soon became our friend. He was someone that you could always count on to make you feel special and he always took his time to pay attetion to whatever you had to say and you knew he truly listened and cared. He always talked about his family and how proud he was of his children. Our hearts go out to them. We will miss and never forget him.

Dear Mrs Curry and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known and been a cliet of George
for many many years. I had a meeting with him last week and got caughtj up on the family. He was a wonderful careing person with
a great personality and compassion.
Darlene Swanat

So many of us from the class of GHS '79 are heartbroken by the sudden passing of our fearless leader. George's contribution was legendary; he was the life and soul of our class. Although I saw him only a few times after high school at class reunions, I was happy to see that George had retained his easygoing and generous spirit throughout the years; he had a kind word for everyone. I offer my deepest sympathies to his family for their unimaginable loss.

Dear Linda, Leslie and Scott,
Although I haven't seen George in many years I can definitely say that I cherish the memories I have of him when my sister Kim and I would visit Connecticut every summer. He was always jovial and always the kidder, and although I was a young kid at the time he always made me feel welcome and made me laugh. Playing baseball and pitching batting practice at the lot in front of your house at Lake Quannipaug was the best. He even gave me my first ever golf club, a 3 iron which he said he wasn't hitting very well and wanted to get rid of. I still have the club called "The Boss" to this day. Back then he had such a youthful spirit which I would imagine stuck with him throughout his years.
My prayers go out to you all.

Char, Ethan, Shannon - Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Everyone is so sad over the loss of George, especially the kids of the community for whom he did so much. He will always live on, in our hearts and our imaginations, on the football fields and the baseball diamonds, and wherever young people seek the kind of inspiration and energy that George so ably and generously offered. With heartfelt sympathy, John F Setaro

To the family and friends of Mr. Curry,
My heart goes out to you...
George and I were most friendly during middle school years.
George brings smiles to my face and I admit even now, tears to my eyes. What carefree yet confusing days those were! What a good buddy George was, following sports, playing football on front yards(tackle without pads!), and mostly staying out of the trouble. When we entered High School, George moved ahead in ways I could not fully understand, positive ways. He took full advantage of a goofy nickname, and as I hear it, he has taken advantage of many so called negative things in life, turning them to positive. I am reliving scenes now that were quite hilarious for those times! At George's expense it seems, we would all have a laugh, but really, he was laughing loudest of all and laughing for us all.
I cannot imagine the loss of those who have stayed in contact with this man throughout the years, and especially the loss for his immediate family.
The George I knew so many, many years ago, during those innocent childhood days, has entered in as a child I am sure. And after shedding a tear for those behind, I can hear him laughing with no worries, because it is all out of his hands!
Hopefully my childhood love for George has been expressed in ways not too presumptuous, and most certainly in ways not too offensive.
May God comfort as only God can,
Thank you for this far away forum,
Tom A. Ardito

Dear Linda, We are so very very sorry to hear about you son. Nick and Betsy Heery

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of George. I have fond memories of time spent together at Guilford High School. Although I have not seen him in years, my memories stand clear of a wonderful man!

Please know my loving thoughts embrace you and prayers are with you.

My heart is filled with sorrow.

With love, sympathy and support, Clare Sullivan

For more than twenty years we have had the privilege to know George through his work as financial planner to the Foothills VNA, here in the northwest corner of our state. As the years went by, our quarterly sessions focused less and less on money matters and more and more on an exchange of family updates among friends. George loved his profession and more importantly, he loved his family and he loved people. He was honest, trustworthy, highly competent and caring. We will miss his smile ans easy going manner, but know that we are better for having met him. His approach to life will continue to be a role model for those of us fortunate enough to have known him. He was special. Our prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Linda,
All my love and prayers to you and your family. George wasn't just a cousin to us he was a brother that was always there with love and a smile. One of a kind, one of the good guys. He will truly be missed be all.
God Bless us all,
Butch

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Linda and family, your in my thoughts and prayers.

My Prayers are with the Curry Family. George you will be very missed my Friend.

Char and family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words are inadequate - my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our prayers are with you Marie often talked about you both.

Char and Family, Although I have not seen you in many years, I often think back on the many fun memories we all shared at UCONN. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and my heart goes out to you and your family. Fondly, Katy (Schaller) Smith

I am so shocked & saddened to hear of George's passing. He was a wonderful, sweet & kind person. My deepest condolences to his family, friends & colleagues.

To George's Mom ,Wife and Children, I do not know you but I really do . George spoke of you so often with much love and caring. No matter where he went you went with him. He was a wonderful person, so caring and trustworthy. Such Integrity!! Always a Smile. I knew I was in good hands from the moment he came into my home. That was a few months after my husband died. George was a guiding force in my life since 2000. I could trust Gerge. I just knew it in my heart. Any person who loved his family as much as George did was a comfort to be around. George never let anyone down. He always was there for us when we needed him. He was a Godly man and I know in my heart that he too is in good hands right now. In the hands of a Loving God. I am so very sorry for your loss. I will continue to keep his entire family in my prayers for as long as needed. George's life will continue on, in eternity with the Lord which is good but we here on earth need many prayers and comfort and consolation. May the angels surround you and may you know His peace as He brings you through this tragic time in your lives.
With sincere condolences and pray
Rita Bendler

Dear Char and children,

What a terrible loss, Janet and I are so sorry for your loss. George was a trusted adviser to our whole family and we will miss him for that. More so we will miss his laugh, smile, and thoughtfulness. Please know that George was a true to life person and will be missed very much. God Bless you and keep you safe.
Adrian Kavanagh and family

We are very sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Char, Shannon and Ethan. Uggghh, we're so, so sorry for your loss... All of our love to you, Carole-Lynn, Greg, Ayla and Jas Saros.

Char, Shannon & E, Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you. Keep your memories close to your hearts. His spirit and smile will live forever

Char,Shannon & Ethan,
There are no words. Reading all these tributes reminds me that grief is a sign of a life well lived. George lived a lifetime in the 50 years he had. His devotion to his family & friends will remain in the hearts of all who knew & loved him... and we sure loved him. We can't think of George without a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye, and that wonderful laugh. He lit up a room. We will miss him dearly, and will think of him often....and we will never see a party hat and not think of George~.
Our deepest condolences. The Lannons
Jeff, Lauren, Hillary and Dylan.

I last saw George at Pop Miconi's memorial. He & Char both took the time to come & sit with me & said so many wonderful & comforting things that will always be remembered & treasured.

Though we don't gather often enough, many fun family parties were shared together in 10 years you've known me. George welcomed me with open arms the
first time he met me.

We all expected to share many,many more years with George. While we are so stunned & sad he's not here... I KNOW why God called George now. His strong & loving energy is badly needed to help cleanse & heal this Earth of all the negative things that
are happening here now & the month/yrs. to come. Though he is learning to BE without his shell, he lives in our hearts & souls.

Dear Ones: I love you all so much; Each of you are heavy on my mind & heart - sending comforting & peaceful light to you. Let us lean on each other as we grieve, cry, heal, laugh, toast & share George stories.

George, I love you man. See you
on the flip side with a beer.
Love, Wendy

This is such shocking news. George was such sweet man. He was always willing to take on having yet another class reunion. He was someone we all looked up to and admired. He will be dearly missed.
