To the Cunningham family - my deepest sympathies to all of you. I had the pleasure of working with him while living in Va. Beach from 2000-2005. He was always there with a smile, a friendly word or a funny story. He was truly a wonderful man.

Dianne
Condolences and sincere thoughts for your loss.Tom had a uniqueness that set him apart in our community.
Whatever the occasion he was always TC. Being interviewed and hired at a bar at LaGuardia Airport and not knowing what to expect. For the next 32 years I was never surprised. He’ll be missed.

The news of Mr Cunningham's passing fills me with great sadness. As a mentor, I've always admired his prescence in the business community and his dedication to your family. His integrity and honor are unsurpassed and posessed by only a few. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Tom hired me at SFI in 1986 and we developed not only a professional relationship but a sincere freindship. What I admired most about Tom was his honesty and sincere candor. Tom was my mentor and had a positive influence on me and had a major impact and contributor to my success. Heck, if it was not for Tom I would not be where I am today. I can still hear his voice when he called me from the road as he travelled to Long Island for his weekly office visit from VA. And of course who can forget those wonderful dinners (Wednesday nights) at Benny's. Of course his antics on the golf course still make laugh. Scott Milas
