During her retirement, Punchie loved to play bingo along with relaxing at her second home in Indian Acres in Thornburg, Virginia, where she was a part of the Golf Cart Club. In addition to her love for bingo, Punchie loved casinos. From Atlantic City to Dover, Delaware and even down the road to MGM casinos, Punchie would never pass up an opportunity to gamble on the White Orchard. And anyone who knew her also knew her love for crabs.

 The beloved husband of the late Jean Ann Cummings; former husband of Sue Carol Cummings; father of Donna Sue Geddes, Deborah Carol Chee, Robert Edward Cummings, Charlotte Lea Fackler all of Meade County, KY and the late William Thomas Cummings II; brother of Joyce McIninch of West Nellysford, VA. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Edward J. Cummings III and Roy M. Cummings, both of Maryland, and his parents. He is the grandfather of Jason M., Nick D., and Chris A. Smithson, Shelby N. Snider and Gracie L. Fackler, William T. Cummings III and Kayla R. Cummings. He is also survived by his nieces, nephews, and many friends. Bill always believed he had a very blessed and fulfilling life. 

Bill loved history, geography and his friends. Bill was a proud member of VFW Post 8810 in Waldorf, MD, a life member of American Legion Post 227 in Brandywine, MD, and a Loyal Order of the Moose, Lodge 126  in Clinton, MD and a member of AmVets Post 13 in Waldorf, MD.


It is said that Americanism is an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals; eagerness to defend it against all enemies; undivided allegiance to the flag and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.


William Thomas Cummings embodied the spirit of Americanism. A true patriot: as a young man of seventeen he enlisted in the US Army in 1952 and served his country for the next four years spending much of his duty on the front lines of the Korean War; as a man he spent the greater part of his life in service to other veterans and their families through his work in the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other service organizations. Bill embodied what it means to be an American; 2nd generation Irish from Quincy, Mass, his father’s parents had immigrated to the US in the late nineteenth century; his mother’s people hailed back to the 1600’s settling in the New England colonies, prior to the founding of this nation. 


In tribute, his family have placed four medallions on his casket to acknowledge that which he held in highest regard: his oft stated privilege to serve his country in combat, the US Army medallion; for his leadership, service and patriotism, the American Legion emblem; the Eagle and Flag emblem, both symbols of our great Nation; and the ‘In God’s Care’ medallion for his love of and belief in, his savior, Jesus Christ.


President Teddy Roosevelt, a man who embodied the ideals of Americanism, said, “We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage.” William “Bill” Thomas Cummings did his best to live by these ideals through his service to his country and to his fellow man.


A Military Honors service will be held in the Chapel at Cheltenham Veterans Cemetery, Cheltenham, MD on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at 11 am. American Legion Post 227, Brandywine, MD will hold a Repast in his honor from 4 PM to 7 PM that evening.

In Lieu of Flowers, Please consider a Donation in his Memory to the Washington DC Medical Center Fisher House, 50 Irving Street, Washington, DC. The Fisher House is a non-profit Foundation serving Military and Veteran Families. www.fisherhouse.org Checks made be sent directly to them made out to: DC VA MC Fisher House.




James Michael Mennucci, age 71, passed away Friday, August 17, 2018, in his home surrounded by his wife and children.  He fought a courageous 10-year battle with ALS.  He was born in Pawtucket, RI to the late Francesco and Marianne Mennucci.   He served two tours in Vietnam as a Navy Seabee Master Diver.  One of his Navy accomplishments was the construction of an underwater habitat known as Project Tektite based in St. Johns, Virgin Islands. 
 
After receiving a mechanical engineering degree from, the University of Rhode Island, he began a 35-year career at Northrop Grumman Undersea Systems in Annapolis, MD (Westinghouse).  On his first day of work he was invited to race on an Alberg 30, which spurred his lifelong love for sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.   He met many of his lifelong friends through his membership with the Alberg-30 Association.  He always liked to say, “it doesn’t get any better than this.” It’s the way he truly felt about sailing the Chesapeake Bay.  No matter what worries, sailing was his cure-all. His dry sense of humor made us laugh up to the very end of his life.  He was a fearless leader and felt strongly about balance in life; work hard but also make time to play hard.  His children were his greatest achievement in life and he thoroughly enjoyed watching them figure out the path they wanted to take in life.  He was a ‘tinkerer” and could fix anything. He loved challenges.  He was an avid reader, and loved reading books about the water.  

He is survived by his wife, Coleen and three children; Julie Mennucci (Pat Worley), Michael Mennucci, and Nicola Mennucci; one granddaughter Lucca Worley; two sisters, Cathie Mennucci, and Mary Small (Jack); a brother; Robert Mennucci; and niece and nephew, Jennifer and Luke Small.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in the Fall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either Hospice of the Chesapeake, 90 Ritchie Hwy., Pasadena, MD 21122 or Hopkins ALS Clinical Care & Education Fund, C/O Lora L.
