LARRY CUNNINGHAM Obituary

CUNNINGHAM
With heavy hearts, the family of Larry Cunningham announces his passing after a courageous battle with cancer on Friday, October 20th 2024, at the age of 74. Larry was born in Alliston, Ontario, on October 4th 1950, to Harold and Joyce Cunningham. Known affectionately as "Uncle Larry" to his coworkers at Thunder Bay Shipyards, he was a skilled Welder/Millwright who took great pride in his work. Larry was a man; of not only compassion who encouraged kindness, self-belief, understanding and non-judgment. He was also a man that enjoyed having fun, laughing and staying young at heart. He was sure to join in on water fights, loved telling/hearing jokes and even made snow angels with his wife into his seventies. His wealth of knowledge, creativity, happiness and positivity will be remembered fondly. The stories that he shared, his gentle eyes, warm smile, loving hugs, and soft heart will stay with us always. Larry will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his wife Beverly; children Frank, Jamie, and Denny Cunningham, as well as Katie (Vince) Watt; grandchildren Shea-Lynn, Dylan, and Selena Cunningham, Kenny and Richard Skirten, as well as Trayson and Taneesha (Corey) Watt; sisters Glenna (Orville) Dolph and Laurene (Don) Grimm; brothers Allen (Pam) and Kenny Cunningham; three great-grandchildren as well as one on the way that Larry was excited to hear about; numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives. He was predeceased by his parents Joyce and Harold Cunningham and brothers Bruce and Wayne Cunningham. A celebration to honour Larry's life will be held in the summer of 2025.

Sweetheart, "My Larry," you'll be with me forever, till the rivers run still and the four winds we know blow away. Now resting safe with Jesus. - With love, Bev

Papa Larry,
We took Callum for his first trick or treating. It was awesome. He loved it. I wish you could have met your great grandson. I'll remember every memory I have of you, which aren't enough, but the ones I have I hold dear to my heart. A photo of Mark, Callum and I for Halloween for you to see. The photo with you and your twin. (Even have the matching leather jackets, haha)
A photo with you and Nanny during covid. Lastly, the photo of your son, myself, your dad, and you. Four generations.
You might be gone from this world, but your beautiful soul is still somewhere because our souls are made of energy, and energy never dies.
I'll miss you forever.
Say hello to my great grandfather for me.
Rest In Peace

Love you always,

Your granddaughter Shae-Lynn (Mark) and your great-grandson Callum Elun.
