Robert Milton Cundick

When I was 4 (right before he died) he let me play on the tabernacle, it was cool! :) I miss him a lot, and which he could have lived longer.

On January 12, 1964, while serving as a full time missionary in the British Mission (London, England), I was visiting the Hyde Park Chapel for an interview with President Marion D Hanks and while waiting, I was asked and was privileged to turn the music pages for Robert Cundick who was preforming a organ recital. A wonderful organist. Jeff Stevens

To the family of Robert Cundick:

Dr. Cundick was such an inspiration to me. In the late '60s he taught an introductory organ class at the old Detroit Stake (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan). I was a member of that class. Dr. Cundick encouraged me and I went on to study with Professor Robert E. Glasgow at the University of Michigan. Several years later I was in SLC getting married. I contacted Dr. Cundick and he remembered me and arranged for me to play the Great Organ in the Tabernacle....

Brother Cundick was my counterpoint teacher way back in 1978. He was a great teacher and player. My condolences to all the family. LG

Dear Cundick Family,

This is my second attempt to express my condolences- I did not meet the rest of you-however, in the summer of 1968 (?) I was a newly called ward organist in the old Detroit Stake (now the Bloomfield Hills Stake) Brother Cundick taught a weekly class of 10 or so-Lynn Romney Kennan, Beverlee Williams,the Suzuki sisters and a young man, Ray Henry. We learned so many things-the hymn How Gentle God's Commands and so many combinations of stops-and there were some...

Bro. Cundick encouraged me to get back to the keyboard after I had given up. We had too many good organists in our ward and I hit too many wrong notes on the hymns. He reminded me of the Eleventh Commandment,"Thou shall not take thyself too seriously!" Within weeks I was called to serve in our Logan Temple group! He encouraged me to help the other organists to learn the unique features of the Galanti and I had twenty who appreciated the tips. Bro. Cundick helped us get our Logan Tabernacle...

Dear Ruth and Dave,
We were saddened to hear of the passing of your father. He has left a remarkable legacy for your family.
All our love,
Elder and Sister Jeff and Cathy Stevens

Dear Cundick Family,
I am so sorry to have missed the memorial service--which I'm sure was beautiful and inspiring, but I have been doing a fair share of reminiscing on my own. I remember our families' friendship--beginning back in those early days at BYU, continuing through the excitement of the creation and premiere of "The Redeemer" (conducted by my father)--and in more recent years. I still remember how I appreciated Brother Cundick's kind suggestion of a single chord change in a piece...
