Dearest Adrienne and Family-
We are so sadden to hear of Curcio’s passing. He was a true and loyal friend to my Dad, (Bill McGinley)while they were Union Stewards at the Lancaster Post Office. I love that they remained friends after my Dad’s reunion. They both shared a love of history, the law and Catholics.
Curcio was a man of integrity, kindness and had a gift for making others feel like they mattered. He will be missed by all.Lifting you in prayer,

Jim was my Union representative when we both worked at the Lancaster Post Office. Although I did not know him as well as others because we worked different shifts, he always treated me fairly and like I mattered. He helped me with management problems and I respected his efforts in my behalf. He was a good man. My deepest condolences to Adrienne and the rest of his family I know you will miss him very much and I know He loved you very much. Sharry Theal, retired Mailhandler

I’m so sorry for the loss of our family. Jim was an amazing man and im going to hate not having the opportunity to do all of the things we discussed doing together. We made so many wonderful memories over the years, Jim will definitely live on through them. I love everyone so much, Jim is proof how precious our time is here together. Let’s all try to do more in his memory. R.I.P Jim you will be missed and I love you so much, thanks for everything. ❤❤❤❤

James and I were classmates at St. Leonard’s grammar school in Brooklyn. He was the smartest person in the class, quiet and shy, kind. Reconnecting in later years through social media, I could see he was still all of those things. My deepest condolences to his family, wife, children and his sister Rosemarie.
