My Sincerest condolences to the Curran family. I used to enjoy the Refreshers and EMT classes Charlie and Big AL Frew put on at the Holbrook Fire Dept. to help us keep up with our EMT Training and requirements. Charlie and Mary were nice enough to come hear the band I was in years ago in the 70's at the Ranchhouse in Marshfield. That was very nice of them and I do not think we hurt their ears too bad. God Bless.
regards,
Bob Azanow

Charlie was a big influence in my career. He went out of his way to help me and the Avon Fire Department in developing the ambulance service. He influenced many Avon members with his EMS teaching. I will not forget his humor and laugh.
