Obituary for William Horace Curling

William Horace Curling , 94, passed away Wednesday, March 17, 2021. William was born in Princess Anne County, Virginia to the late James Elton and Lela Mae Jones Curling. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his loving wife of 63 years, Ida L. Curling. He grew up working on his parents farm and continued that tradition until his employment at The Ford Motor Company Plant in Norfolk, VA from which he retired 30 years later. He was then involved crafting hand made furniture in a family run business. William was a talented harmonica player and has many recordings of his composed pieces. He once remarked "I started trying to play harmonica, and 70 years later figured it out"

Left to cherish his memory are his three loving sons, Mark Curling, Tim Curling, and Mike Curling. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren and their spouses; even more great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; as well as additional extended family members.

The family will be celebrating his life privately but encourage those not in attendance to leave a condolence and share a memory at www.grahamfuneralhome.com
