Scovill Wannamaker Currin
July 16, 1947 — November 30, 2013
Scovill Currin passed away suddenly, surrounded in the end by his loving family, on November 30, 2013.
Scovill was born on July 16, 1947 in Durham, NC. Retired and living on Daniel Island, SC since 2000, Scovill and his family were long-term residents of Orangeburg, SC.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Scovill cherished time with his family and friends. Nothing gave him more joy than seeing his grandchildren burst through the door and their familiar greeting of "Pop!!" Tessa (6) and Luke (3) gave him profound happiness, and he welcomed his third grandchild, Wyatt, just 8 weeks ago with great pride. He spent 43 laughter-filled years with the love of his life, Deborah. Blind dates do sometimes work out.
Scovill attended North Carolina State University and began his career with Lowes Building Supply in 1969, eventually becoming a long-term manager of the store in Orangeburg. He ended his career at Home Builders Supply, greatly enjoying being "one of the boys" on the sales floor.
Scovill will be remembered by many for his sharp wit, fantastic sense of humor, and overwhelming desire to lend a helping hand. On Daniel Island, he quickly became the neighborhood storyteller, handy man, and surrogate grandfather. And the fish of Charleston can now rest more easy.
Most importantly, he taught those around him how to live and love. Through him, we learned how to be a better spouse, parent, and friend. He brought a contagious, boyish excitement and wonder to life. Friends and family knew him as "Big," a fitting symbol of his larger-than-life spirit, generosity, and love of life and fun.
Scovill is survived by his wife of 43 years, Deborah Lancaster Currin; son, Scovill W. Currin, Jr. and wife Lisa; daughter, Margaret Ann Grasso and husband Steven; two brothers, Johnny Currin and wife Pam and Roy Currin; sister, Louise Main and husband Dave; three grandchildren, Tessa Currin, Luke Currin and Wyatt Grasso; brother-in-law, Doug Lancaster and wife Ann; and two sisters-in-law, Tricia Lassiter and June Lancaster.
The family will hold a memorial service on Wednesday, December 4, 11:00 AM, at Providence Baptist Church (294 Seven Farms Drive, Daniel Island SC) with visitation to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorials be made in Scovill's name to Providence Baptist Church.
