Tim Curry is the father of Michael Curry, a major character in Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy.[1]
Description[]
He was described by his son as an inflexible man, "a brash and lovable man, a brave fire fighter who won many decorations. He died trying to save lives. That was his nature. But it was his nature, too, to shrink from what he didn't know or understand. A deep vanity made him feel small before those with real education." [2]
