Otto Cunningham Obituary

CUNNINGHAM, Otto Ross, August 9, 1928 - December 23, 2010. Ross was born to Hubert and Eva Cunningham in Cherryvale, Kansas. Survived by wife, JoAnn; daughter, Lisa (Randy) Myers; son, Ric Cunningham; two sons by a previous marriage, Eric (Allyson) and Jon (Janice). Also survived by brother, Jim and sister, Ann; five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Ross spent a career in the Air Force, attaining the highest rank available to him, Chief Master Sergeant. He took great pride in serving his country. He was also an avid golfer and played with great enthusiasm until his health would no longer allow it. His second passion was watching the Arizona Basketcats excel.
