Larry Curry Obituary

I am so saddened to hear this news. I worked with Dr. Curry in Colorado professionally, he was my expert witness. He was extremely professional and helped out my clients. I want to express my deepest condolences to his family. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Respectfully,
Linda Lee, Esq.

Oh how I still miss my dear friend. I think that what made our friendship work so well is that besides being university professors together I also forgot that he was also Reverend Dr. Curry (GRINS FROM EAR TO EAR).

I think back on those times and I laughed so hard on how many inappropriate jokes I told in his presence only to remember later that he was also a pastor (SMILES UNCONTROLLABLY AT THOSE MEMORIES). When he would see the shock come over my face later and I would apologize. Dr. Curry would always say, "Dr. Rogers I´m going to pray for you."

The odd part is that we would always address each other as "doctor" because we were so proud of each other´s academic accomplishments and we wanted to show each other that sign of respect.

I think speaking to Dr. Curry like he was my own brother and a dear friend made our friendship work so well. Around me he was never Reverend Curry, he was just my close friend who I talked about anything with.

We had so many good times together. We shared so many laughs. We shared so many meals together where we would reminisce and engage one another about various things for hours.

He made going to professional conferences so much fun. On every trip we would go to I would always brag with a sense of pride and say that, "Not many colleagues bring their own personal pastor with him on trips." Dr. Curry, would give me that look and say that, "God sent him to help keep me out of trouble." And we would laugh hysterically because we both knew he was right (LAUGHS, GRINS AND SNORTS UNCONTROLLABLY).

God, how I miss my remarkable friend. I always say that people come into your life for a reason and I absolutely know why Dr. Curry came into mine. Without question he made my life richer, he made my life more sane and manageable, and he definitely made me laugh and smile probably more than I probably would have if I had not met him.

Without question his life made a huge difference. He touched so many students that he taught over the decades. He inspired so many clients to do better Without question this was a remarkable man who led an extraordinary life and should be remembered.

Dr. Curry, thank you so much for making my life richer because of you. I will never forget you, my dear friend.

I was just informed about the passing of Dr. Curry! I am so heartbroken to hear this. Dr. Curry was an awesome and compassionate educator. He made my days at MSU enjoyable. The world lost an angel in him. Peace blessings and comfort to his family and friends. God bless your soul Dr. Curry.

He is Safe In His Arm

I have only just learned of the passing of Dr. Curry and am deeply sadden. I will miss his wisdom, support, laughter and talks about cases in the courtroom. He was a dear colleague and a great mentor for me as I navigate my Master's program. I will never forget him. Rest in Love Dr. Curry. Prayers and blessings to the family.

To the family and friends of Dr. Larry Curry, may the Lord God continue to comfort each of you and give you peace. I literally just learned of the homegoing of Dr. Curry and am heartbroken. I only knew him for a short time as an intern at his Denver clinic. But in that short time, Dr. Curry became a friend and mentor and he left a lasting impression in my life and that of my husband. I respected him tremendously and rejoice that a true man of God is now resting in glory with our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. His memories are forever blessings and I pray they provide even more comfort to this family and to all who loved him. God bless you.

I just learned of Larry's passing on April 15, 2022,
I am so sad that he is gone but certainly not forgotten. A man of faith and love that I had the pleasure of working with for over 20 years as friend, doctoral program advisor, board member, and fabulous family therapist. I would like to contact Laurence and Debbie if they read this or if someone has their contact info please contact me at Ken.seeley@ denvergov.org.

What an incredible human being who gave so much to so many. I really miss you.

I am so sad to learn of Dr. Larry Curry's passing...we worked together 20 years - he and my son shared a love of the Broncos and we would often check in with each other - I will miss his banter. Sending my condolences to his family.

I just learned today of Dr. Curry's passing in August from the Metro winter newsletter and I am deeply saddened. He was a beloved professor and mentor as I completed my BSW and then was in the first graduating class of the 1- year MSW program in 2012. He was a not only a fantastic professor, he was a leader, a mentor, and pushed you to think and practice from outside your comfort zone in order to grow and hone your skill set. To learn FROM and along WITH our clients. To be an astute listener and student always- and never forget to laugh, believe in yourself, know you are making a difference but "never work harder for your client than he is for himself" . I was going through major personal struggles during both programs- he was a trusted listener- always encouraging, helping me to stay focused and cheering me on along the way with that quick wit and great sense of humor ! (Sprinkled in with some "tough love" "fatherly" advice. )

I knew he was very accomplished but I've learned even more just reading the posted memories. I am struck by his devotion to serve from an early age- however he could- in a multitude of ways- his family, his country, his community, through his career, his personality, his spirit for God and ministering to those in need. He had a fiery spirit and a passion for making a difference.

Thinking of his family, friends and loved ones, especially as we approach this holiday season which adds to the sting and pain of loss.

I am so grateful to have known him and for his impact on my education and in my professional career. What a legacy he leaves behind!. May his spirit of dedicated service, compassion and giving continue to live through us. Job well done, kind and faithful servant.
Thank you, Dr. Curry

My deepest condolences to the Curry family.

Dr. Curry served as an inspiring mentor and professor during my time as an undergraduate student at MSU Denver. His kind and warm smile will be missed.

My heart hurts. I have known Larry for years. He was a good friend a mentor and colleague. He will be missed but not forgotten. My prayers are with the Curry family.

Dr. Larry Curry and I were professional colleagues and friends for over two decades (SMILES AT THAT MEMORY). We shared a tiny office space for years and got to know each other very well in that time. If those walls could only talk (GRINS FROM EAR TO EAR). He truly and sincerely loved his family with every fiber of his being. And they were his reasons for living and for wanting to do so well in life.

Larry and I traveled and presented at professional conferences together for years. So many precious memories. So many laughs. So many wonderful encounters (TREMENDOUS GRIN). Larry was a remarkable person that I was blessed to know for so long. Larry led such an interesting and wonderful life.

The stories that we shared will resonate and stay with me forever (SMILES APPRECIATIVELY AT THOSE ENCOUNTERS). It was my privilege and my honor to know such a good and remarkable man. "Rest In Power" my dear friend.

Pastor Curry and I became great friends during our time at HCC. He and Minister Debbie helped my family and I navigate through a very stormy season of our lives. Your presence is deeply missed here on the earth Pastor Curry.

Dr. Larry T. Curry has gone home. I met Dr. Curry when we were twelve years old at Union Baptist Church. We started a club called the LeSabras and went about sponsoring dances, with the intention of keeping people our age out of the streets. Even back then, we knew we would be good friends for life. During the past fifty years, we stayed in contact as much as life would permit. We I heard he moved back to Aiken, my wife and I made a trip to Aiken just to see him. Upon meeting, when we sat down at the restaurant table, as always I said "hello Dr. Curry." Dr. Curry corrected me and said, with warmth and sincerity, "my friend, please call me Larry." Larry has gone home. Rest in peace my dear friend. Rest in peace.

I am very sorry for your loss. I never met Larry but spoke to him many times. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to the Curry families.
There were several connections between The Curry and the Williams family. After Sunday dinner, Larry´s grandparents would drive through several neighborhoods to say hello to residents sitting on their front porches.
They Participated in several community activities and were instrumental in our upbringing.
The first church wedding that I attended was that of Ella Ruth Curry.
Then several years later Mrs. Curry and Mrs. Thelma Meacham were wedding consultants for my wife, Febere Miles..
I will try to attach a photograph of these lovely ladies. Edward S. WILLIAMS, MD

Larry and I grew up at around the age of 6yrs old, a stones throw from each other on Horry St in Aiken. I still have a hard time believing he's gone. When I look back over the years, Dr. Larry Curry has always been a passionate, caring, smart, God fearing and humble man. He was a man's man and a peoples guy, no doubt. He will be missed. God need him more. R.I.P., Larry, my friend. Otis.

Our condolences to the Curry family. Our hearts are so heavy. My husband & I so loved Pastor Curry. Thank you to the family for sharing this wonderful man.

Pastor Curry will be truly missed. I worked as his assistant in the counseling ministry at Heritage Christian Center. It was only for a short time, but here was a reason...his advice to take a chance at dating this military man led me to the best relationship decision of my life. My husband Brian of 15 years and I are eternally grateful to pastor Curry. Rest in heaven!

He made the Class of 69 so special as a classmate, drum major and friend. Rest well, you are missed but you have made your family and friends so proud. May your family find comfort in all of their memories of your love, laughter and smiles.

Larry will always be the majestic drum major who leading the band on to the football field or on Main Street in the homecoming parade. He high-stepped and kicked like no other. Always loved and respected by all of our classmates, adored and admired by schoolmates from other grades, his smile, kindnesses in some many ways will be remembered forever. Condolences to his family, but find comfort that he has left a lasting legacy in you and all of us who knew him.

You have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. Unfortunately, we never got a chance to meet, but your father was our neighbor. just two doors away. We believe your grandmother, his mother, was baptized by our great grandfather, the late Rev. JH Patterson
