STOP BY AND WISH HER WELL! in “the mountains,” Dick used some of his time and talent painting beautiful paint-by-number pictures, which he lovingly gave to his family members. In his later years the medication he took caused his hands to shake, but that didn’t stop Dick; he figured out how to steady his hand and still produced blue-ribbon pieces. After 66 years of mar- riage to his Sibyl, he spent the last two carrying on, loving his mountain home and continuing to do the things he could. He was always on his four-wheel Honda, checking out the grounds and, until recently, was still mowing the acre- age. The family can only remember one year that he wasn’t the official “driver” for the hunting parties every October and November. Sibyl talked him into a trip to Mexico during hunt- ing season…he said never again, and he was indeed out again, sharing that time with the men and boys last fall. Dick is survived by his daughter, Janice K. Weis and husband Robert of Heppner; son, Richard Lee Cunnington and wife Con- nie of Portland; grandchil- dren who were the light of his life, Brian Lee Cunning- ton and Jennifer of Bea- verton, OR, Kate Molony and Mario of Portland, Jeff Cunnington and Connealy of Omaha, NE, Robert Cun- nington Weis and Darci of Idaho Falls, Richard Lars Cunnington and Rebeka of Vancouver, and David Hitchcock Weis of Port- land; great-grandchildren, Alyssa Molony, Emma Molony and Elizabeth Teets of Portland, Sibyl Sterling Cunnington of Omaha, and Gibson M.
