Actor John Cunningham dies at 93 after nearly 70 years on stage and screen

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather

At his side until the end was his wife of nearly 70 years, Carolyn Cotton Cunningham, a former Rye City Council member and environmental advocate, who held his hand as he passed.

He is survived by Carolyn; their children, Christopher, Catherine, and Laura; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and his devoted caregiver of nearly three years.

John Cunningham may never have chased fame — but through talent, dedication, and humanity, he earned something far greater: enduring respect and love.
