RACINE – Leonard Thomas Curry, Jr. (Junebug), 66, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 8, 2021.

He was born in Alamo, Tennessee on December 20, 1954, the son of the late Leonard Thomas and Elizabeth Marie (nee Dawson) Curry, Sr.

Leonard loved his family dearly, but his passion was for cars.  He worked for Chrysler for many years until his retirement.  In addition, he loved working on cars and racing cars, and was a member of the Racine Independent Racers.

He is survived by his daughter, Nicole (Danny Sr.) Overstreet of Racine; his grandchildren, Nicholas (Jelissa) Miller, Danny Overstreet, Jr. Elizabeth Overstreet and great grandchild Tyson Miller all of Milwaukee, loving companion, Jettie Hall of Racine, aunt Jimmie Mae Dawson Hudson of Alamo, TN, and special cousin Nikki Churchwell of Milwaukee. Leonard was a father figure to many who are left to cherish his memory; as well as many dear, close relatives and friends, too numerous to mention.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his cousins, Greg, Nate, Jerry and Joann Dawson.

Family and friends are invited to meet in the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory on Saturday, May 22, 2021 for a visitation from 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.  A service celebrating and remembering his life will follow at 4:00 p.m.  A private interment will take place.

    My sincere thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the family and friends of Junebug. I’ve known him since grade school. We spent countless hours together building model cars, racing slot cars, fixing and riding bicycles and showing cars. Junebug was more than a friend. He was like a brother. I thank God for knowing and sharing time with him. I will truly miss him.

Testimonials

The Munoz Family

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
