Dennis E. McCurdy passed away on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025. He was 77.

Born on May 1, 1948, after graduating from Millersville University with a Bachelor’s in Industrial Arts, he was employed as a teacher, and various other vocations before becoming a machinist, first for Turnmatic, then AMP, which later became Tyco Electronics.

After the death of his wife, he and his son, Eric, moved to Cleona in the late 1980s, where he resided until his passing.

In his free time and after retirement, he enjoyed reading, working in his home machine shop, and flying his private aircraft.

He is survived by his son, Eric, daughter-in-law, Jennifer, and grandson, Sean, all of Lebanon. He is also survived by his sisters, Leslie, Carol, and her husband, Carl, Terry, and her husband, Robert, and Nancy, and her husband, Richard; brother, Kevin, and his wife, Naomi; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Christine; and parents, Lester and Dorothy McCurdy.

For those who wish to send cards or flowers, the family asks instead that you volunteer your time with a charity or community organization you believe in. Dennis believed that showing up and putting in the work was more meaningful than donating money.

Funeral services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Thompson Funeral Home Inc. is entrusted with the arrangements. The family welcomes your memories and messages in Thompson Funeral Home’s online guest book at thompsonfuneralhomelebanon.com.

At Thompson Funeral Home, four generations of the Thompson family have offered their knowledge, compassion, and experience while serving the families of the Lebanon area for the past 135 years.
