Death

CONCORD - Nevin Wayne Furr, 82, died Jan. 29, 2010, at his home in Concord. He was born Feb. 13, 1927, in Cabarrus County. He was the son of the late K. Clegg Furr and Lula Mae Widenhouse Furr. During his lifetime, Mr. Furr wore many hats but was most proud of that of entrepreneur. At age 13, he had his first entrepreneurial venture when he started an ice cream business on Pine Street in Concord. That business was short lived because he was too generous with his portions. In the years to come, he tried his hand at popcorn sales, went to New York City to live and study radio technology, opened his own "Radio Hospital" in 1944 on Union Street, and started a car sales lot on Church Street. He later established a career purchasing real estate and property rental. He is survived by a daughter, Terry Furr Frye and her husband, Leonard, from his first marriage to the late Betty Lee. He is survived by a daughter, Autumn Russell Furr from his second marriage to the late Sandra Raynor Furr. He is also survived by stepchildren, Larry Widenhouse and Robin Widenhouse Brown. He is survived by two grandsons, Brian and Jason Frye; four great-grandchildren, Jessie, Joanna, Jaxon, and Jaleigh Frye; and his beloved dog, Buster. Memorial services are pending final arrangement.
