Curdo's Place of Birth[edit]

While Curdo's residence has been Auburn, Mass, for some years--since his remarriage at least, circa 2000--I would be curious to see a source listed to corroborate the city as his birthplace.

Curdo was raised in Lynn, according to the August 1948 issue of Chess Review, and graduated high school in that city the following year. Hushpuckena (talk) 12:59, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to a Facebook post, John Curdo "passed away on Friday evening, September 30, 2022 at the Rose Mohan Hospice House in Worcester. His death came as a result of a head injury suffered in a fall at his home in Auburn in September." Someone should update the page with a usable citation. I have seen no news articles but the FB source is (in my opinion) well plugged into Massachusetts chess and reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3005:24CB:4000:5C8D:2814:FEEB:FAF1 (talk) 14:38, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
