He was born in Peoria, Illinois, the son of the late Robert and Eva Curry. Bob was the devoted and loving husband—and best friend—of 54 years to Jo-Anne “Jody” Arbeznik Curry. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and deep devotion to family. He was a proud and loving father to Katherine (Steve) Conway, Michael (Jessica) Curry, Colleen (Matt) Bennett, and John-Ryan (Katie) Curry, and a cherished Papa to Lauren Conway, Madeline and Molly Bennett, and Ryan Curry, who brought him endless joy.
He was a dear brother to Barbara Curry and Walter Curry; a beloved brother-in-law to Leo (Judy) Arbeznik, Gary (Maureen) Arbeznik, Thomas (Caroline) Arbeznik, and John (Gayle) Arbeznik; and a treasured uncle, mentor, and friend to many who were fortunate to know him.
Bob proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War era. He was a graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and earned his MBA from John Carroll University in University Heights. He dedicated his professional life to the banking industry and retired after having a long and respected career.
Bob loved the outdoors and could often be found hunting, fishing, or golfing. He enjoyed a good party, great conversation, and time spent with friends—but nothing meant more to him than being with his family. Kind, loyal, and gentle, Bob had a wonderfully dry sense of humor and a steady presence that made everyone feel at ease. His love for his family was unwavering, and he gave it freely and completely.
Bob will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who loved him.
