Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My cousin "Pop" was a kind and caring member of the Williams Clan. No matter how far away or how long we were gone, we were always family. We'll done, Pop.

Mr. Cummings was also a Principal at Chancellor Ave School in Irvington for a short time. It was a privilege to work with a man of empathy, and caring of staff and children. Mr. Cummings you will always be remembered as one of our Servant Leaders of Chancellor Ave. School. God Bless You and Rest in Heavenly Peace! Condolences to The Cummings Family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your loved one. I had the pleasure to work with him at Florence Avenue School in Irvington. Mr. Al Cummings was a kind-hearted person and an excellent principal. The heavenly doors have been opened to receive him. May he rest in peace. Dorothy Hawkins
