Obituary of Byron L Cummings, III

Byron L Cummings, III, of Danvers and formerly of Peabody, died Sunday afternoon surrounded by his loving family at the Kaplan family Hospice House in Danvers following a brief illness. He was the devoted husband of Virginia (Vlachos) Cummings with whom he shared over 40 years of marriage. Born in Athol, MA, he was the son of the late Byron L Cummings, Jr and Nora Louise (Marsh) Cummings. He was raised and educated in Peabody and attended Peabody Public Schools. Byron enlisted with the United States Army and served for three years before his honorable discharge in 1974. Following his discharge from the military, Byron began his working career as a machinist at Babco and then later at Magellan Aerospace in Haverhill. Byron enjoyed golfing, biking, and listening to all kinds of music, but his favorite endeavor was spending time with his family. Besides his loving wife, he is survived by his two sons and daughters-in-law, Gregory and Katie Cummings of Farmington, NH and Kerry and Jenn Cummings of Rowley, his three sisters, Sheila Dubiel and Sharyn Kelly, both of NH and Brenda Gunther of Beverly, and by his beloved grandson Otis Byron Cummings.
