    Peggy B. Singleton says:
    I knew Carl back in the '60s and '70's when he worked on the posting machine at the bank I worked. Carl was a fine gentleman and was always very nice and funny. In later years I had the pleasure of seeing him and Peggy at Westminister Presbyterian Church. He had aged, but we all have, he was the same friendly person that I had remembered. Peggy, I know this will be hard for you, but God is our strength and comforter and promises he will never leave us. God be with you in these sad but rejoicing days, knowing he has fought the good fight and run the race.

    Mrs. Currie, Wayne, and Floyd, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Currie. I will always remember Mr. Currie as a soft spoken gentleman who was always there for his family and friends. I also had the pleasure of knowing him as “Coach Currie” in Little League baseball.
