I would like to send my condolences to the Currie family. I had the opportunity to go to university with Jeff and played rugby with him for 3 years. From the first practice I met him where he was given the nickname Duke from our coach he always managed to make us laugh. I have a lot of good memories from those years that I will remeber Duke by. It’s always sad to lose a friend, but it makes me feel better knowing that he is at peace now. Until we meet again Duke…RIP my friend

Maria & Christian Dupont
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Currie, Julie, Josh, and Jillian,
We are terribly saddened to hear of Jeff’s passing. Ralph Waldo Emerson has the words which I fail to find myself in the face of learning of Jeff.
“For each thorn, there is a rosebud…
For each twighlight–a dawn…
For each trial–the strength to carry on…
For each storm cloud–a rainbow…
For each shadow–the sun…
For each parting–sweet memories when the sorrow is done.
May God Bless You all at this difficult time,
Maria, Christian, Daphné and Loïc Dupont
Brigid and Mark Dekker
Dear Currie Family,
I am finding it very hard to find the right words to express how sorry I am. I know the loss this is. I understand the hole that will always be left. I also know how much Jeff was loved, and how hard the last years have been for him. Through it all, you were there. Your love was there. Your love will always be there.
Thinking of you all,
Brigid, Mark, Elizabeth and Paul Dekker

Dear Pat and Bill, Josh, Julieanne and Jillian,
We were very sad to hear that Jeff had passed away. Unfortunately we did not get to know Jeff as well as we would have liked to, but from the stories and antidotes form Pat, Bill, and my Dad we felt close to him.
His perseverance and will to live in the face of his hardships is an inspiration to us all. He was fortunate to have such a loving and supportive family. We are comforted by the fact that you were there with him and thankful that he has now found the peace and rest he deserves.

Dear Currie Family,
I am thinking about you all – you must miss Jeff tremendously. I’m not sure what words I can offer to make this time easier to you – just know that you are in my thoughts. Your message to Jeff really resonated with me – now is his time to sleep and rest, as the last years have surely not been the easiest.
