William Scurry Sr.'s Obituary

Like his father, he was in the construction business all his life. His experience at Blythe Construction led him to start Scurry Construction in 1995. Many highways, subdivisions and shopping center sites in the Charlotte area were completed under his watch.
Bill loved his work, boating, Gamecock & Panther Football, coaching Will’s teams and spending time on his beloved farm.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Hayne & Mary Ellen Scurry, his sisters, Susan Chappell and Sally Peterman.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years Gail, his son Will and three beautiful grandchildren, Sloan, Carsen and Eli Scurry, his sister, Kathy Scurry and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
