In Memory | ||
of | ||
Charles Cleveland Curry | ||
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and | ||
commemorates the life of Charles Cleveland Curry, who died March | ||
23, 2013, at the age of 93; and | ||
WHEREAS, Charlie Curry was much admired in his community | ||
for his longtime commitment to the Colleyville Area Chamber of | ||
Commerce; he remained active with the chamber and was a member of | ||
the board until 2009; he understood the power of networking and | ||
the importance of volunteerism, and his talent for bringing | ||
together diverse groups of people and his hard work on behalf of | ||
the chamber earned him the nickname of "Mr. Colleyville"; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born on June 17, 1919, in El Dorado, Arkansas, | ||
Charlie Curry would, like many of his generation, serve his | ||
country in World War II; from 1942 through 1945, he served as a | ||
supply technician in the United States Army Air Forces during its | ||
campaigns throughout Asia; after the war, Mr. Curry returned home | ||
to New Mexico and married his wife, Eula Mae; he initially worked | ||
with the family business in Carlsbad and later joined Southwest | ||
Potash Mines, where he served for 34 years until retiring from | ||
the position of plant controller; and | ||
WHEREAS, After his retirement, he and his wife moved to | ||
Colleyville in 1983 to be closer to their son and his family; | ||
within a year, Mr. Curry had become integral to the Colleyville | ||
community, and particularly to its chamber of commerce; he used | ||
his financial expertise to help the chamber and many Colleyville | ||
residents, and he was named Citizen of the Year in 1997 and | ||
Volunteer of the Year in 2007; and | ||
WHEREAS, This remarkable gentleman was revered for his | ||
engaging personality, his sharp mind, and his love of helping | ||
others, and he will long be remembered by all who knew him for his | ||
generosity and compassion; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved | ||
family of Charles Cleveland Curry; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas | ||
Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in | ||
memory of Charlie Curry. | ||
