Jack Lawrence Curry

Beloved husband of June Curry (nee Dempster), loving father of Richard of Kitchener and Duane (Nancy) of P.E.I., proud grandfather of Benjamin Curry, Dustin (Gillian) Curry, Dian Curry, and Nicole Curry, dear brother of Clarence (Barb), Gerald, Howard (Lorraine), Theodore (Rena), Robert (Sandy), Alice (Keith), brother in law of Neil Spahr. He will be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Predeceased by parents, Neven and Luella Curry, son Brian, sisters Jean (Roy Evers), Isabell (Jim Kaster) and Betty.

Born July 25, 1929 in Perry Sound, Ontario, Jack, as the eldest brother, took up the duties of his father, who had to find work when he was up North. But his father relieved him of that duty when he was able to live at home. Jack moved from Orrville Ontario, near Parry Sound, to Waterloo in 1944 and settled with the family at the “Brubacher House” on Columbia Street. He worked for many years at Kaufman Rubber as a Stationary Engineer.

A special thank you to the staff of Sunnyside Home for the care given to Jack.
