Tom owned the Curry Sawmill on Route 48, Boody, and formerly worked for UPS Freight. He was a member of Faith Baptist Church and was a disabled veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
Tom is survived by his wife, Grace; parents Phillip and Patricia Curry of Decatur; sister Tracey Roesch (John) of St. Louis, MO.; nephew Joseph Roesch; stepson Jason Largent (Chrissy) of Decatur and stepdaughter Allison Largent of Macon; grandfather Donald Oakleaf; grandchildren Taylor, Brylan, Dominic, Maddox and Madison; brothers-in-law Don Levandoski (Sandy), Chuck Levandoski (Lucinda); sister-in-law Judy Aronson (Jerry); Baptismal sponsors Ronald L.

Tom was confident in his faith. He enjoyed and loved his family, especially his grandkids and his nephew. He loved attending sporting events. He had a very wry sense of humor and could tell the greatest stories. Tom’s business, the Curry Sawmill, was a dream come true, and he took a great deal of pride in the work that he did. Tom will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and his dog CoCo, who all loved him very much.

This is one of those times when you want to take time and bottle it up. Oen it up and use it up now. Have a few more mins with the one we have grown to love so much and respect. Life is such a gift each and every day. In the quiet moments, when the hurt is hard to bear. Just that it will soon pass. May love become your shelter and may the beauty of precious memories be your comfort. Know being loved a little is better than not being loved at all. We are hear for you when you need us Grace. You and the family are held in a gemtle thought and prayers. Sorry for your loss.
From Teresa and curt, Mary and Harry Petitt

Tom will always hold a special place in my heart. He was in my second grade class at the LSA. This was my first teaching position and I loved each one of those children entrusted to me. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
