Red socks. How can something so simple sum up a life? To many of us in Band or Sports, it really means so much. Red socks are bright, warm and brings attention. You walk in to the cafeteria and see those socks, your heart warms. You are not alone. Mr. Currey, you supported Liberty with those red socks, but to us they meant so much more! Thank you and Thank God for sending you to us!

I'm so sad to hear of Wilson's passing, the world lost a great one. I'm forever thankful for the years we spent as his neighbor. He was the best neighbor we could have ever asked for. Our conversations over the fence were always great with lots of life lessons and advice from Wilson. He'd drop off vegetables from his garden on our porch each season and after hearing about a wooden nutcracker decoration I wanted, he went to work and made me one from scratch! We still use that and the santa he made us each year! We'll forever miss him! ❤

Wilson Currey was a man of integrity and high moral character. I am truly thankful that he was chosen to be the first principal of Liberty High School. His leadership set the tone for the school and made it a great place to work or to attend. His treatment of the students was friendly, fair, and firm. just what you want from a principal. I was glad to be on the faculty when he was at Liberty and to have remained his friend after retirement. My condolences to the family. He will be missed but not forgotten.

My sincerest sympathy to Mr. Curry’s family. He was my principal the entire time I was a student at RW, from junior high to senior high. He ran a “tight” ship but he was always fair. He demanded our respect and we always wanted to give it to him. The world today needs more principals like him. Melba Hildreth Melton ‘72

My prayers go out to Mr. Currey's family and close friends. He was our principal at Roosevelt Wilson and one of the most honorable men I have ever met. He was a real straight shooter and back in those days, I often wished he could have been our football coach. Robert W. Faris, Port Orange, Fl.

Mr. Currey served both as first principal of Liberty High School and as my first principal who I enjoyed working for him as a Biology/Science teacher. I remember Mr. Currey telling me, "Mitchell if you are not in this profession for the students. You need to find another job. You will be missed dearly Mr. Currey.

Jean, Ralph and Julia, I am so saddened about the passing of your husband and father. Just yesterday we talked about Wilson as my husband stole our grandsons nose with his pointer and middle fingers just as he had done to me many, many years ago. Then today I received news that he had passed. I will always have fond memories growing up next to your family whether its the stealing noses, building swimming pools, Secret Sam or Peppy among many others. Just know that I am thinking of your family and sending prayers for all of you. I posted the picture of Ralph, Pam and me in honor of Wilson and all those good memories. Susan

Sad to hear of Mr. Currey's passing. He had such an impact on so many young lives. We didn't make his job easy, but he made our lives better. Thank you Mr. Currey for the guidance, the friendship and respect. There are educators that students will not remember, this is one principal no one could forget.

What can you say about this "GREAT MAN". The class of 1976 was the first class to go completely thru the first year the Liberty High School was opened and I, myself felt very secure and safe with Mr. Wilson Currey as our/my principal. He always spoke and was kind and had always an ear to listen. Rest in Peace, Mr. Currey. God Bless the entire Currey family.

The year I graduated from R-W was Mr. Curry’s last year there. Was always a wonderful man and I was very happy he stayed till my class was gone

Mr. Curry was my Principal at Liberty High School while I was there from 84-86 . I always respected him and looked up to him and the positive way he carried himself. Probably could not have asked for a better Principle and the values that he carried and instilled in others. I honestly probably didn’t deserve to stand in his shadow but was sure glad he was a part of my education and know I’m a better person for it. Thoughts and Prayers. Scott

We so enjoyed seeing Mr. Currey at the monthly LHS Retirees' Luncheons. What a witty, wise, good man he was. His life could certainly have been written into an awesome book. He was a rich man, in every good sense of the word. As a principal, he set the bar high. Our hearts are saddened but we rejoice at his Homecoming in Heaven. God bless his wonderful family with love, support, and memories that bring peace and sustain smiles. He certainly put good into the world, in many ways. Our prayers and love...

Please accept my deepest condolences. Mr. Currey was a wonderful man and principal. My brothers, Gary and Ron Morrison, always spoke highly of him. His last year at R-W was my first. Just in one year I realized what a kind and strong man he was. Always fair. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To Jean, Ralph, Julia and family. What wonderful memories I have of growing up on Clark St. in Shinnston with you all as wonderful neighbors, always looking out for all of us. Then, to have lived right across the street from you as an adult. Wilson was always lending a helping hand and providing words of wisdom. May God wrap you in his arms with comfort at this time.
