View source for Al Curry


(Sept. 3, 1949–March 18, 2008)

'''P. Allen Curry''' of [[Los Angeles]], [[Cincinnati]] and, ultimately, [[Ypsilanti, Michigan]], published the [[fanzine]] ''[[Gnomenclature]]''. 

His friend [[Mike Glicksohn]] wrote of him: 

"We had known each other for more than 35 years. I won't deny that a lot of shared time had a bottle of whiskey or some beer glasses between us but he was so much more than the archetype of a drunken Irishman.

"Al was quite literally a larger-than-life-figure. He was a very big man with a very big appetite. He was also a fine poet, an acceptable cartoonist, a superb and produced musician and a truly fine (if professionally unpublished) writer. He was one of the people I would have been delighted to grow up to be."
