Notes:
Summarized from newspaper article:
Mort Curry was known as the Father of Public Links Golf in Rhode Island. During the 30+ years he played golf in Rhode Island, he won 16 club championships. As President of the RI Golf Association, he worked on behalf of public links and junior and caddy golfers. During his administration, the Triggs Club of public links was admitted to membership, and thus to state tournaments and championships. He himself was an active campaigner and championship golfer at Point Judith Country Club as well as Annaquatucket, Warwick, and Massasoit. He was also a longtime member of noteriety at the Pine Valley Club in New Jersey, considered to have one of the world's hardest courses.
Sylvia tells of an incident in which Mort brought a Jewish friend from New York City to golf with him at Point Judith. Well, there was a prohibition, either understood or stated, against Jews at the club. That "didn't sit too well with Mort." The rule was quickly changed and Mort's friend got to play golf there.Thomas — Ida C. Ellerbrook. [Group Sheet]

Summary by Lois:
Mort was born in New Jersey, but lived in North Kingstown most of his life. He was a principal in the company Clarke, Curry & Brown Inc., a real estate and insurance firm. He was a 30-year member of the Wickford Lions Club, and a member of the RI Audobon Society and the Nature Conservancy. He was also a member of the First Baptist Church of Wickford, where he taught Sunday School. He played golf at Potowomut, Point Judith, and Rolling Green Golf Clubs. He and Pat did square dancing with the Whirlaway Square Dance Club.
Although I had gotten to know him less than a year before his death, I have memories of numerous happy times together with him and mutual family members. Mort was truly a warm, hospitable, and gracious gentleman who enjoyed talking about his family, home, and various interests. In the fall of 2001, he and Pat invited Rich and me, along with our parents, to their home for afternoon tea. We had a wonderful time of conversing and reminiscing, first around the yard overlooking the inlet, and then around the dining room table.
For his memorial service, which was at 11 AM on 13 March 2002, in the First Baptist Church at Wickford, the sanctuary was full. His sister Louise read a poem entitled "To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me." The congregation sang three hymns: "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee," "Brighten the Corner Where You Are," and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." Scriptures read were: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, John 14:1-6, and Psalm 121. The Rev. Dr. Clifford Hockensmith gave a brief eulogy. Afterwards family and friends went downstairs to enjoy fellowship and refreshments. It was both a sad and joyful time, a very moving and fitting tribute and farewell to Mort -- until we meet again in Glory.Thomas married Patricia Records 28 Jun 1947.
