Texas, to Fred L. Cunningham and Alma E. Schneidagle Cunningham.
Bobby is preceded in death by both of his parents, and by his brother
Thomas Cunningham.
A former member of the United States Army, Bobby served in
South Korea and Germany during 1967 thru 1970. Post military service
Bobby returned to Corpus Christi, Texas where he spent the majority of
his life with his family and friends. During this time he became a proud
father to Melanie and Paul Clarke. Later on in life he relocated to
Austin, Texas, where he married his lifelong friend Marsha Tollett, and
became a proud father once again to Shawn and Mark Cunningham.
Bobby and Marsha bought a home in Hutto, Texas, where they
spent their 30 years of marriage and raised their family. Along with
raising his family, and other various neighborhood kids along the way,
Bobby had a very successful and fulfilling career working at Austin
Gutterman Inc. for over 30 years. In 2012 Bobby became a grandfather
to his only grandchild Colton Griffin, who he loved to spoil and spend
lots of time with, especially once he had retired from working in 2020.
Bobby is survived by his loving wife Marsha Cunningham, his
children Melanie Clarke Townsend (Chris Townsend), Paul Clarke,
Shawn Cunningham (Kenny Griffin), & Mark Cunningham, his siblings
Linda Anderson (Tom Garry), and Richard Cunningham (Connie
