Mr. Harold Hugh Curry's Obituary
Harold Hugh Curry was born February 16, 1953 to Jesse Curry and Bessie
Smith-Gill in St. Louis, Missouri. He was educated through the St. Louis
Public School System and attended Soldan High School. He went on to
further his education at a combination of Mechanical Tech Schools earning
several certificate levels in Automotive Mechanics.
He was a United States Postal worker, mechanic, musician and driver
throughout his life. He later retired as a trainer from a local school bus
company.
Harold H. Curry could be easily described as an ambitious leader full of
wisdom who always shared ideas of success. He built a lifestyle that
entertained the sounds of live music and old school albums. He professed
his life to Christ at a young age and was a God fearing man. He attended
services every Sunday at Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in
St. Louis, Missouri. He donated ample time at local shelters by lending a
listening ear and sharing positive advice. Harold always had a giving heart
and was willing to help anyone in need. Above all, “Dad” was always ready
to climb mountains for any of his children.
Harold had a love for music bands, motorcycles and clean classic cars. He
was the bass guitarist of the Crescent Band. He enjoyed building his
motorcycles up and wiping his cars down. He had a charming smile that
would light up any room... even with the lights out. He had a style that was
beyond sharp, yet debonair, always clean and smelling good. He was
always well groomed and his stylish scent awakened others with a smile as
he came into their presence.
Harold Curry departed this life on earth the morning of Tuesday, February 5,
2019. His father Jesse Curry, his mother Bessie Smith-Gill and his brother
Kenneth Sims, all preceded him in death.
