Earl E. Curry
Earl E. Curry, 74, of Greenville, Ohio passed away on Saturday, July
20, 2019, at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.
He was born on November 3, 1944, in Winchester, Indiana to the late
Clarence and Eva (Campbell) Curry.
In addition to his parents, Earl was preceded in death by his brothers,
Ronald and Clayton Curry; his sister, Asazalia Curry; and his
brother-in-law, Jack Barnes.
It was not uncommon to find Earl playing bingo or betting at the
casino. He had a deep appreciation for all genres of music. From old
country to rock and roll, Earl enjoyed it all. Along with his passion
for music, he enjoyed watching sports. Earl was a dedicated fan of the
Cincinnati Reds and Bengals to the Dayton Dragons. His interest in
sports drove him to coach the Greenville girls’ softball team for 14
years.
He dedicated 27 years to Shrader Tire in Greenville. His love for
working with his hands continued after retirement through his enjoyment
of woodworking. His family described his talent as unique. He would
build tables, swings, frames and just about anything else. He was a
member of the Greenville Eagles and Moose Lodge. To many at PCS, he was
known as "Big Earl". Above all, Earl loved to spend time with his
family and friends.
Earl is survived by his wife of 53 years, Linda (Barnes) Curry, whom he
married on August 8, 1965; his children and their spouses, Penny and
Gary Chinault of Punta Gorda, Florida, Melinda Segura of Greenville,
and Neshell and Bo Schneider of Greenville; his grandchildren, Keisha
Wert and her fiancé, Austin White, Cody Schneider, Jake Schneider,
Skylar Segura, Alejandra Segura and her boyfriend, Parker Grill, and
Jaliyah Segura, all of Greenville; his great granddaughter, Adelina
Segura; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Bette Curry, Shirley
Curry, Jan Barnes, Doug and Bev Barnes, and Brenda Barnes; and his
numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
