Michael Cuneo Obituary

TEWKSBURY -- Michael J. Cuneo, 41, a former Tewksbury resident and a consultant to the state of Massachusetts and the town of Dedham, died Saturday, June 25, at the Healthsouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Woburn, after an 18-month battle with cancer.

He was born in Saugus, on May 26, 1964, son of Sonja (Kartuz) and John "Jack" Cuneo of West Dennis. He was raised in Tewksbury and graduated from Tewksbury Memorial High School in 1982. He later graduated from the University of Lowell. Before moving to West Dennis 18 months ago, he had lived in Tewksbury and Lowell.

Mr. Cuneo earned his principle-and-practice exam certification as a civil engineer. According to family members, he was instrumental in the completion of the state's final version of the Wetland Acts. He worked as a consultant to the town of Dedham, and the state of Massachusetts. He also served as a constable for the state.

He was an Eagle Scout and an active member of Tewksbury Congregational Church's Troop 47. He was also a member of the Tewksbury Congregational Church. Mr. Cuneo enjoyed traveling, and was a well-known as a "Trekkie." He was involved in science-fiction television productions in Canada, and according to family members, was a master builder of sci-fi models. He was invited to lecture at several Star Trek conventions throughout the U.S.

Besides his parents, survivors include a sister and her husband, Heather and Jim Burns, of Tewksbury; two nieces; and many aunts and uncles.

I am very shocked and saddened by the passing of Michael who was a civil engineering student of mine at the University of Lowell. He was a serious and good student and was a gentle and caring individual who enjoyed his professional studies. His family should be proud of his professional accomplishments. I pray that he is at peaceful rest with the Almighty.
