Leonard Currie

Passed in: Charlottetown, Canada
Passed on: June 13th, 2014

Leonard Everett Currie, 73, of Charlottetown passed away peacefully with his family by his side, at home on Friday, June 13, 2014 after a courageous battle with ALS.
Leonard was the only son of Roy and Winnifred Currie, and predeceased by a sister, Florence.
Born and raised in Dartmouth, N.S., Leonard started his automobile career working under his Father, then owning Currie’s Irving Station along Banook Lake. He then moved on to a sales position at Forbes Chev Olds before moving the family to Prince Edward Island in 1990 taking a management position at Walter Piccot Chev Olds until he retired. Leonard is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Glenda (Turner) formerly of Glace Bay N.S.; three sons, Jason (Sara) Currie, Dartmouth; Lenny (Bernadette) Currie, Stratford; Chris (Jennifer) Currie, British Columbia; sister Diane (Walter) Piccott, Ontario; sisters-in-law, Brenda (Terry) Ball, Michigan; and Layle (Terry) Kneeshaw, Lake Echo; two grandchildren, Gabriel and Cassandra (Jason and Sara) Currie; nephew Stephen (Dawn) Piccott, Ontario; niece Rhonda (Steven) Ferguson, Ontario; niece Amanda (Clark) Boring, Michigan.
Leonard was active for many years in the racing circuit and was inducted to the Maritime Stock Car Hall of Fame. He loved golfing with his friends at Belvedere Golf Club, bluffing at the poker tables at Red Shores, and watching his beloved Montreal Canadiens as much as he could. Always involved with his boys activities, he entertained fans and players of the Sherwood Parkdale Kings Jr. Hockey Club and was nicknamed the “Music Man”.
A devoted husband and caring father, he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. We love you “Pops”, “Boy”, Dad.
