George had an historic perspective which is unsurpassed. He knew this town as no other, and for years was the "authority" on who, what, where and how. He helped make The North Attleborough Free Press a success and will be sorely missed.

There are many in North Attleboro that knew and loved George Cunningham. The town owes him a great debt for providing a historical record of it's past. He was born, raised and died in North Attleboro and his spirit will live on there.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of a No. Attleborough legend. I remember at least 20 years ago when my sister and I visited the Falls Museum and George was there to help us and answer any questions we may have had about the Town. He knew our father was involved in Town sports and offered to post a picture of him as soon as we brought it in. He was one of the kindest and involved individuals I have ever met. We will all miss him!!!
