Buffalo, NY – Color us saddened to learn of the death of longtime Buffalo News columnist Bob Curran.
The Boston native, a decorated World War II veteran, was a booster of military service people. He was noted for his requests to readers to "hang tough" and to "say a prayer for our guys Over There."
Curran was 80, and died Thursday after a long illness in a Long Island veterans' home.
His column in the News ran from 1967 until his retirement four years ago this month.
