Irish community in New York loses a wonderful man - Joe Cunningham passes, aged 100

County Clare man a true gentleman known for spinning yarns and putting smiles on people’s faces

The Aisling Irish Community Center said “Joe was a great friend of everybody here at the Aisling Center and the oldest member of our "Young at Heart" Senior Group at 100 years old. While most of our seniors walk to the center twice a week to socialize with the group and the staff, Joe always drove here! Joe was an amazing husband, father, musician, friend and all round character with such a positive and humorous outlook. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by so many people.

Our deepest sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Rose and their children Cathy, Joe Jr., Jimmy and John, and the Cunningham and Einersen Families. May He Rest in Peace.

Joe will be dearly missed by his four surviving children and their spouses, Dr. Catherine and Michael Einersen, Joseph Jr. and Debbie, James and Joan and Deacon John and Elaine. He is predeceased by his loving daughter Mary Cunningham Einersen who was married to his son-in-law Peter Einersen. His grandchildren and great-grandchild will also dearly miss Joe’s smiling face.

Rest in peace Joe Cunningham.
