Not sure what to say?

I still think of Mr. Cunningham often!! He was my teacher and he made school fun! He was also a fairly close neighbor too and would often bring by tomatoes from his garden! One of a kind I know his spirit lives on and I'm lucky to have known him.

My deepest sympathy go out to Mr Cunningham and his family he was my favorite teacher he did make learning fun he made us laugh I enjoyed Mr Cunningham as my teacher I love Mr Cunningham as my teacher and I will miss Mr Cunningham so my heart and prayers I know it's been 3 years past but my heart and prayers go out to it his family may Mr Cunningham rest in peace

He really was a great human being and was a true lover or life. I never got tired of being in his presence and he has and will continue to have a resounding effect of this world. God bless him for his kind soul and heart that had a profound effect on me and my life as well as many, many others.

David was my first employer in Bar Harbor @ Dave´s Deck. My mother worked for his parents and Phil was one of my best child friend....RIP

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. It means I won´t hear that laugh again or see that famous smile.

Mr Cunningham was my teacher in 1970 at Brigantine North School. He was a great teacher...... my favorite. I remember him jumping on the desk and telling us stories about his hometown in Maine. He had such a passion for teaching and I will remember him fondly. He made a difference in the lives of the kids he taught. My condolences to the family. May you find comfort and strength during this difficult time.

My sincere prayers and condolences to Dave´s entire family. I had the pleasure of working with him at the Middle School in Brigantine in the late 70´s. He was always so kind to me, I´ll always remember him. Him, Grace Cairns, and Jim Dansby were such fun to work with. I still remember after all these years!! May he Rest In Peace always

He was a kind man, a patient man & a passionate man. He cared about teaching and every memory shared here shows it! I was one of hundreds of kids, whom he helped shape our world view and understanding of history. His unique mannerisms, Bar-Harbor Maine in his accent & jumping on top of desks screaming while exclaiming how a past war was fought. Those are a few memories that stand out 20+ years later. R.I.P. Mr Cunningham. You were loved and now missed.

I remember Mr Cunningham. He was my teacher back in 1973 in Brigantine. And outside the classroom you knew when he was around because he drove a red wrangler Jeep with black top (when the top was on) which was always easy to spot on the island. I thought he was very caring and an effective educator. My sympathies to his family.
