Album Closed Robert Henry Endt, Lt. Col (USAF Retired)
On August 7, 2021 the Club lost one of its senior members, Robert “Bob” Endt. Robert was Ocean Springs, MS born and raised. After college and career in the United States Air Force, he came back to serve in his home town. He became a high school teacher and also a member of the School Board. Part of his tenure on the School Board was that of Board President. Robert was active in veterans affairs as a member of the local American Legion and 40 and 8. Rising through the ranks in the American Legion, he became State Commander and went to Washington D.C to lobby on behalf of veterans.
As a longtime member of the Gulf Coast Stamp Club Robert served as a Club officer for many years. At one time he served as the assistant circuit manager. He was active in the Club until health issues forced him to cut back. Germany, where he was stationed at one time, was one of his favorite collecting interests. Always a gentleman and all around nice guy, he will be missed. Album closed on Robert Endt.
Album Closed Jim Currie
Jim Currie was a Gulfport native and Biloxi resident for 37 years, a fervent Christian who PRACTISED his beliefs. He was one of the first Handsboro Baptist Church’s members who welcomed me into their church in late 2013. He taught adult Sunday School, was a member of many local groups, including Antique Auto, Mustang club , Exchange Club, and when I learned he had been President(twice) of the Gulf Coast Stamp club, we really ‘hit it off’!
He had retired from Miss. Power Co., after a stint in the Air Force, then Scoutmaster and Cubmaster, coached Little League, and on and on.
Two years ago, we thought we had lost him to kidney failure, but an enormous output of prayers from the entire church body pulled him through. Prayer IS powerful!
We all are going to miss him, but WON”T forget him! -- Dr. John Barrett
