In the last couple of years, Joe delivered gas to my home to run my fireplace. I never had to worry about running low as he was as dependable as the sun coming up. Take care.”

“I only met Mr. Curry once on Christmas Day 2010 when he SAVED our Community Christmas Dinner in Leonardtown. I called him my Santa that day! From the time he entered the room, it was clear to me that he was fun-loving, empathetic, helpful and very humble. We couldn’t have made it through the day without his grace and decision to “go home” rather than back to the shop that morning. I pray that he realizes how much I appreciated his efforts that day. I was saddened to hear of Mr. Curry’s passing, but know that with the goodness of his heart that he displayed on earth, he is undoubtedly living eternally in heaven. Rest in peace, Mr. Curry. May God’s loving comfort be with the family during this time and until you are reunited with him. God Bless you.”
