To the family: May you find comfort and peace in praying to God. (Philippians 4:6,7) I’m so sorry for your loss.
The Foggy Mountain Boys are reunited once more and I look forward to seeing them in Heaven.
He made all North Carolinians proud and, thankfully, his music will live on forever. May God give comfort to his family & many friends. RIP, Curly.
Our Huge Loss is Heavens Gain. Curly was a true Legend in our music world. But more than that he lived the life God lead him to believe. I count it a very high honor to call him friend......and my highest honors were getting to sing with him. Prayers to ALL his Family and Friends. To borrow from his friend Lester Flatt...... we now know the newest powerhouse tenor singer in Heavens Bluegrass Band. RIP Sir
I've never met a more gracious person in the community of bluegrass, or in general. With his unmatched singing and rhythm playing an original architect of the music, Curly was unfailingly friendly and unassuming—truly a rare human being. He lived a wonderful long life. Condolences to all his family and his friend and biographer Penny Parsons.
