Patrick Cunningham Obituary

Patrick J. Cunningham, 79, of Chicago, IL passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 8, 2021. His loss will be felt by many but none as strongly as his loving wife, Maria Leitao, his daughter, Tracy Collins, and his grandchildren, Fiona, Ronan, and Kiera Collins. Famous for his lightening-fast witticisms, clever comebacks and oft-curmudgeonly sense of humor, Patrick will be greatly missed by any who were pulled into his charming orbit. The burial took place Tuesday, 9/14 at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Hillside. Here he rests with his parents, Frank and Marie (nee O'Heron) Cunningham and his brother, Michael Cunningham. In lieu of flowers, donations to Misericordia appreciated. For additional information please check BarrFuneralHome.com
