He was a member of Rocky Mount Masonic Lodge for 43 years and served on Rocky Mount Town Council for 12 years. He is survived by his loving wife, Brenda Cundiff; daughter, Beverly M. Cundiff; two precious granddaughters, Rachel Altizer (Jason Shaw) and Rebecca Wyatt. Also surviving are his sisters, Juanita Plybon and Betty Hunley; and a close friend, John Boitnott.
