Kim, I know it's long past, but today I was thinking about your Dad and unexpectedly found this looking through the Elmira SG obituaries. Your ad was a great man, I remember and my boys remember going to Cundy's Barber Shop, great memories.

Mr Cundy. You will be missed. From being my t ball coach to getting haircuts well into my 40's!! The stories you would tell me about my mom(Sis)St Louis and "the gang" were wonderful to hear. I always held off on getting a haircut if I was coming home for a visit just to spend time in your shop. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Bob was the perfect person to have taken over the barber shop that Dorn Dilmore owned. The legacy of that barber shop lived on with Bob. He never forgot his roots in Horseheads. He never seemed to forget his friends and customers. We should not forget him

Great Man, knew him from the time I was 5 years old growing up and bowling with my parents, getting chopped by Chopper. I am glad my son got to meet him. He will be missed!

To those lucky enough to be Bob's family. His extended family included many of us who grew up within a block radius. We tried to be excellent children to our family but I am certain that we wavered. I still managed to visit with Bob when in town but am sorry to say that will not happen in Horseheads again. We shared many memories when together and someday that may happen again.

My condolences to Rob's family and his friends. I knew him from high school days and beyond. He was an avid Raider alum and worked hard on our reunions. I was content to count him as a friend. Rob was always up beat even with his health. I always stopped to see him when I was back in town because it was enjoyable to talk with him. Rest in peace, pal you gave us a friendship of memories.
