Loving father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and good friend, passed away unexpectedly at his residence on December 7, 2009 at age 86. He was born on October 6, 1923 in Hortonville, son of the late William P. and Ursula (Puth) Cummings. He was the last of the Greenville Bachelors until July 14, 1970, when he married Mary M.
