ROOTSTOWN -- Bruce E. Curall, 73, passed away Tuesday, July 25, 2023, with is family by his side.
Born May 10, 1950, in Youngstown, he was a 1968 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School. He resided in Poland for 50 years before moving to Rootstown in 2020.

He is survived by his wife, Karen Swanson Curall, whom he married Sept. 11, 1971; sons, Jason (Fran) Curall from Struthers, Brock (Jennifer) Curall from Rootstown; grandchildren, Riley, Payton, Colbie, Addison and Brock, all of Rootstown; brother, John (Jack) Curall of Florida; sister, Pamela Pesa of Boardman; and a host of beloved nieces and nephews.
