Gerry Cunningham (28 Oct 1934 - 31 Jul 2018)

Engrained, vivid memories of sitting in your company in the Abbey with your loving sons, enjoying a few pints and listening to your stories from the past. Conveyed in that distinctly soft, slow, gentle voice, we would hang off every word in anticipation of the climax to the story like nursery children being read to in a classroom. A captivating gentleman who’ll never be forgotten. Rest in peace Gerry

All good things come to an end, ive lost a father and a friend. You never realise what you've got until it is gone. I love you father, from your son, David. x

My dear Dad, so many laughs, and many pints. So many nights in the abbey, and I'll never forget the walks on the headlands of silver bay, Anglesea, a place you took us many times as children as you wanted us to have an adventure. You loved the pub there too. Every weekend in the summer we would head to your caravan, you made our childhood dad, the best a kid could ever want, and most importantly, all the brothers you gave me. i'm so proud to say I'm a Cunningham, RIP Legend, love you forever.

Dear Grandad,
I hope your safe now up in heaven and I hope your watching me every day and night. I remember when you used to set up the winter wonderland play area at Christmas ready for us on Boxing Day, I really enjoyed that. You where the most caring, loving and kind Grandad in the whole entire world. I love you and will miss you, love from your granddaughter Lily-Ava xxx

Grandad was the best, he would always put someone else in need first, not him and would always make you laugh. we will never forget about grandad and he will always know how we feel in our hearts. Lots of love and miss you Grandad Gerry. Luca x

To my Dad, Gerald.
To think we will never sink a pint together and make each other laugh with tales of our escapades saddens me deeply.
To think you’ll never call me again singing Dean Martin down the phone or sit at the table together eating one of Julie’s roasts watching the match is very Sad and a deep loss.
I take comfort in the fact you kept your dignity and independence right up until the end.
I know you’re up there now with Terry Nailor having a pint and laughing your heads off together surrounded by a cloud of cigar smoke.
See you later Gerald, my Lovely Dad, my best friend and a proper legend. You’ll be missed by me, Julie, Ash and Lottie. Goodbye and much love x

My dear father
Still can't believe you have gone. Happened so fast and sudden. I will always remember our times in angelsea on the beach which were my best memories as a child. Out times having a drink in the abbey pub talking of everything possible. Always a great conversationist with so many tales to speak of...
thanks for being a great amazing man, father and friend.
Your loving son Michael

Dear grandad gerry, I will never forget the times we shared from you teaching me how to kick a ball outside the factory to our caravan holidays to silver bay, your a legend to me I'm heartbroken we will never speak again love u always your grandson Anthony x

Gerry, in the 11 years I have known you I have grown to love you and all your crazy funny ways! Will miss you knocking round with the papers every week and all your random gifts you would give me. They have pride of place around the house. I am so glad we got to have one of our roast dinners together just before you passed and how every time you would tell me it was better than the last time. You always made me laugh.
Christmas and Boxing Day won’t be the same again and all the grandkids will miss their winter wonderland you built every year without fail.
You were an inspiration to all around you and we all loved you dearly. You will be sadly missed but always in our hearts and memories.
Goodnight Gerry, love you. Daughter-in-law Kate.xx

Dear dad thanks for all you taught me in life you were my inspiration when I was growing up I was so proud to have you as my dad I am heartbroken that we never said goodbye your loving son paul

Dear Uncle Gerry, we were so sad to hear of your passing. Thank you so much for all the amazing holidays you organised with my dad, bringing all our families together. We have such happy memories of our childhood because of you. We are both so sad we can’t be with you on Thursday to say our goodbyes. Sending you all our love Suzi and Lynne and families xxx

Hi Dad, just wanted to say how much I loved you and how proud I am of what you done in your life. You were a legend and I’ll never stop thinking about you. Wish we could talk one more time, about anything you wanted. Love you forever and ever. Your son. James.

When I was growing up dad you where my inspiration your enthusiasm for life was infectious, always happy, you went through some bad times but you never let it get you down, you are a legend and am going to miss you can’t believe you gone, until we meet again Dad goodbye and god bless,
Your son
