Robert J. Currie

It is with great sadness that Robert J Currie passed away on February 4, 2025. He lived a full 87 years. He was a husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, mentor, role model and a friend. He had a profound effect on all of us, and his loss will be felt.

He valued education above all else and thought women could do anything. His proudest moments in the family were the graduation of all of his children with advanced degrees. He was a pillar with ExxonMobil for over 35 years. He enjoyed playing cards, bridge, pickleball, tennis and watching all University of Michigan Sports. His favorite colors are maize and blue. And of course, his favorite song was HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

His love of travel permeated his life. From his journeys within Exxon to his post-retirement safari travel, the world was his canvas to be painted. He is remembered as a loving husband and father who imprinted critical values of honesty and hard work, so you could achieve anything.

He was preceded in death by his father John and his mother Marjorie. He is survived by his wife Eileen LaMont Currie, his brother Jim, his sister-in-law Mary, his brother-in-law Howard and sister-in-law Hiroko. He is blessed with four children Heather, Lisa, Michael and Christy, four step-children Kevin, Roxanne, Jackie, and Peggy, and their lovely spouses David, Liza, Damien, Patricia and Mike. His is also survived by Teresita Santos Currie, the mother of his children. He is blessed with 16 grandchildren Cassandra, Rachel, Jake, Thea, Jessie, Nat, Nic, Bobby, Annabelle, Damien, Katie, David, Bill, Zachary, Tamara, Andrew, and their spouses Jason, Ronny, John, John and Tiffany. He also is blessed with two great-grandchildren Gianna, Vincent and a third on the way. He loved his family above all else.
