MONROE — Robert E. "Bob" Cunningham, 61, of Monroe, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 12, 2016. Bob was born in Belfast on May 2, 1955, to Eugene and Rita (Jackson) Cunningham.

He was a painter by trade, but an avid hunter at heart. He spent most of his time up at the hunting camp in Monroe, where he peacefully passed away. Bob was a proud father of Amy and Kristi, and very proud grandfather of his only grandson, Ryker — they were his whole world.

He was predeceased by his father, Eugene Cunningham; his stepfather, Wayne Perkins; and his dear friend, Lew Riley. Bob leaves behind his daughters, Amy Cunningham and Kristi Cunningham; his grandson, Ryker White; his sisters, Joanne Buzzell and Patricia Lambert; and his brothers, Steven Cunningham and Mike Cunningham, and their families. He also leaves behind countless dear friends, and self-proclaimed family members.

Services will be held in the spring at the convenience of the family.

Arrangements are under the care of Riposta Funeral Home.
