Mike was a great man and a wonderful life long friend. He was kind, compassionate, thoughtful, dependable, generous and a friend to all. He battled a terrible disease with strength, determination, dignity, and grace. He never complained or felt bad for himself. He never gave up. His fight was inspirational. Mike was devoted to his parents, his family, and his friends. You could always depend on Mike. He never wavered. His word was his bond. I offer my sincere deepest condolences to the entire Cunningham Family. It has been my great honor and rare privilege to have known Mike and call him my friend.
Deepest sympathy to the entire Cunningham family and friends…

To the Cunningham Family: Mary and I offer our condolences on your loss. For 40 years, Mike has been a big part of my tiny circle of friends. A good and smart man, and the funniest guy I ever knew. I bet right now Mike is teaching Johnny Carson how to deliver a line. You and Mike are in our prayers. May God grant you peace at this difficult time.

Mike was a great guy and will be sorely missed by all who knew him, our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Cunningham family. Jack and Laurie O’Brien
Mike and I were friends for many years. In the recent past we did not spend as much time together as we did when we were younger. But, when we ran into each other we could pick up the conversation as if it was only yesterday. I have a lot of memories of Mike that make me smile or laugh. He was a good guy, a good friend and will be missed. To the Cunningham family, I am very sorry for you loss.
My friend I will miss you much sorry for such a terrible loss to your family best wishes god speed. RFK.
Joan, and the entire Cunningham family. Big Oak was a good friend. He was a patient, giving and strong individual, with an incredibly sharp and dry wit. I still recall when he had the first diagnosis when we spoke in person. He was stoic and never wavered as he readied for a final confirmation of an impending battle. And, as you know, he was working well into the new year. Amazing. God bless.

Mike was so warm hearted it was a treat to be in his presence. We got to see him riding his bike in thorough enjoyment and will cherish that memory of him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Cunningham family. Melissa and Andrew
I’m a member of the South Shore Y in Quincy. I knew Mike from the Health & Well-Being Department. Nice guy. Great sense of humor. Staff, and members called him Big Mike. He told me about Tavolo near Ashmont Station. Went there a number of times, loved the food/drink. I’m very sorry for your loss. Another member told me what happened to Mike. When I first heard I couldn’t believe it. I will look forward to seeing him again on Resurrection Day!
I’m late to the game, I have many fond memories of Mike (Oak) our Eire pub days, trips to Montreal card games etc. A true friend in my youth , I will never forget him he was a good friend, God Bless and God’s Speed
