Louis John Cunningham passed away in the early morning of Oct. 21 after taking full advantage of the nearly 85 years he was given on this earth. He joins his bride of 54 years in heaven, who preceded him in death four years ago.

They married in 1960 and settled in Vallejo. After 32 years as a fireman, he retired as an Assistant Fire Chief in 1991. They raised two sons, Shawn of Vacaville and Paul of Benicia. He also was the proud grandfather to Kelly, Ashley, Scott and Erin, the beloved Uncle Louis to three nephews, and Nancy and Diane were each fortunate to call him their father-in-law for over 25 years.
