: "The king is dead! Long live the king!" These are the words of reverence that are uttered by the people of England when their monarch 'dies and a new king ascends the Throne. Since the Middle Ages, the English populace have been most solemn in this warm custom and long time tradition. Paraphrasing these words, on the death of the Hon. Glenn D. Cunningham, we can say, "The mayor is dead! Long live his memory... and legacy!" And what a magnificent memory we have of him. His sudden and tragic passing has left a void in Jersey City, Hudson County and the entire state of New Jersey; one that probably will never be filled.

: Although he walked with presidents, captains and kings, Glenn Cunningham, always held people of all walks of life in high esteem and encouraged them to be the best they could be. From humble beginnings, he rose to spectacular heights in a life filled with one success after another-- serious student, proud Marine, dedicated police officer and police captain, conscientious freeholder, concerned councilman and caring council president, committed Public Safety Director, first AfricanAmerican United States Marshal for New Jersey, first African-American mayor of Jersey City and a solid state senator. A man of courage and conviction, he discharged all his responsibilities with great enthusiasm and total commitment. Glenn Cunningham never did a half-baked job. It was always first class! That was his way and, in his memory, we should emulate this outstanding trait.

: While he did not boast of his accomplishments, Glenn D. Cunningham was a noted historian and accomplished writer and he enjoyed spending time with young students as well as sharing moments with Senior Citizens who revered our late mayor as a son. To the students and other young people, Mayor Cunningham was their role model arid they, too, revered our beloved late Mayor.

It would truly be a living legacy if his lovely wife and widow, Sandra Bolden-Cunningham, to whom we offer our most sincere sympathy, could be persuaded to take his place in public life and carry the torch her husband ignited. I urge the residents of Jersey City to join me in encouraging Mrs. Cunningham to seriously consider doing this. As for myself, I was privileged and proud to have known our late great mayor and state senator for over 35 years. I saw him rise to the mountain top, a summit few rarely reach, and plant his flag of personal accomplishments His word was his bond, and when you bonded with Glenn D. Cunningham, you had a good friend forever. Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham, we are blessed for having crossed your path. Thank you!.
