Va. -- Keith James Cronin, 47, a senior project manager at the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, and a sergeant in the Virginia Army National
Guard, 229th Combat Engineer ID Battalion (L) of Fredericksburg, passed away on
Dec. 10 in the Mary Washington Hospital, Fredericksburg, after a long struggle
with adeno carcinoma of unknown primary. Born in Attleboro, he was the son of
James M. and Brita (Welsh) Cronin, of Attleboro. He had attended area schools,
and was a 1976 Bicentennial graduate of Attleboro High School, where he had
participated in many extracurricular activities. He was the recipient of his
varsity letter in spring track, and his team went undefeated from 1973 to 1975.
He enrolled in Clark University, Worcester, Mass., in 1976, and was awarded a
bachelor of arts degree in 1980 and a master of arts degree in 1982. His
graduate work was focused on applied economics and small-scale hydro power
development in New England. Mr. Cronin was this nation's leading expert for the
Environmental Protection Agency's development of policy under Section 4(a) (1)
(B) (the "B" : policy) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The
policy provided quantitative criteria for the testing of industrial chemicals
for human health and environmental effects. In addition, he served as the lead
negotiator for developing Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) between the EPA,
the chemicals industry, and other members of the regulated community for testing
certain industrial chemicals in a variety of work place settings. Over the past
17 years, Mr. Cronin has provided scientific and technical expertise to EPA and
other federal agencies in support of their missions to collect and develop
information necessary to assess potential risks to humans and the environment
from toxic chemicals. During the past year, Mr. Cronin has served as leader of
the intra- and inter- Agency workgroups for major initiatives, such as the
proposed "High Production Volume" chemical test rule, and the recently
finalized OSHA dermal test rule, which required industry to test 37 high
production volume chemicals of interest to the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration. In addition to leading multi-disciplinary teams that developed
Section 4 test rules, Mr. Cronin has served as the lead negotiator for ECAs
developed for phenol, 1,6-hexamethylene diiscoyanate, alkyl glycidyl ethers,
sodium cyanide, and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. Furthermore, Mr. Cronin
successfully developed the direct final rule for Revisions to Reporting
Regulations under TSCA Section 8(d) and was instrumental in developing the
Agency's Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program. Throughout his career, Mr.
Cronin was the recipient of more than 30 medals, letters of appreciation, and
special act of service awards. His career at the EPA was an endeavor of
professional fulfillment and many lasting friendships. For the past six years,
Sgt. Cronin was a team leader with the Virginia Army National Guard. He held
dual MOS's in Combat Engineering (21B) and as a nuclear, biological, and
chemical technician (54B). Sgt. Cronin takes great pride in his completion of
the Sapper Leadership Course and his volunteering to be activated for Operation
Noble Eagle. Sgt. Cronin served at Reagan National Airport beginning Oct. 5,
2001. Shortly after completing this mission, Sgt. Cronin was diagnosed with
metastatic adeno carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) which prevented his being
deployed with many of his fellow soldiers for missions in both Iraq and
Afghanistan. Prior to joining the National Guard in 1998, Mr. Cronin enlisted in
the United States Coast Guard in 1983 and served four years, honorably, on
active duty. He remained in the Coast Guard Reserve until 1998. He was a Petty
Officer Second Class (electronics). The majority of his service was spent in
Virginia Beach, Va. Mr. Cronin fondly remembered his exploits on his blue Yamaha
motorcycle. Mr. Cronin was a lineman for the Black Knights youth football team
of the White Hawk League in South Attleboro. He was a member of Den 2, Cub Scout
Pack 38, at Murray Universalist Church. He met his wife of 17 years while on
active duty in 1985, and they married on Sept. 26, 1987. Above all in his life,
Mr. Cronin enjoyed the blessings of a wonderful family. In addition to his
parents, survivors include his wife, Nancy, and two children, Michael James
Cronin and Ashley Elizabeth Cronin, all in Fredericksburg; and a brother, Kevin
Cronin of Valdosta, Ga. He also was a nephew of Jean Gulino and her husband, Sal

and her husband, Paul Blackjohn, of Brockton; the late John and Eleanor Cronin;

a cousin, officiating. Pall bearers were Mr. Cronin's friends: Gregory Schweer,
Daniel P. Nefferdorf, Gary Brodeur, Stephen Schwartz, Norman Fortin and James

work he loved, faced cancer for 24 years with great courage, humor, and dignity, and died peacefully in his Little Compton home encircled by his wife and family. Mr. Cummings began in the brokerage business in 1949 at Cummings & Co., which his father founded in 1927. He succeeded his father in 1957, and merged with another Providence firm in 1984 to form Brown, Lisle/Cummings, Inc., where he served as President until 2002. Mr. Cummings also founded the R.I. Association of Investment Firms and served as its first president and he was past vice chairman of the NASD District Committee 13, headquartered in Boston. Louis G. Murphy, Jr., who has worked with Mr. Cummings as protege and partner ever since college 25 years ago, said, 'Bob was an 'old school stockbroker' whose advice ranged far beyond investments for most of his clients, many of them second and third generation. I think all his clients considered him a friend first, and a stockbroker second.' During World War II as a merchant midshipman on the M.V. Cape Alava, Mr. Cummings participated in landings on New Guinea, on the Admiralty Islands, and Leyte Gulf in the Philippines. Two days before the war ended in Europe in April 1945, his ship landed in Bari, Italy. In 1946 he graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy with an Ensign Commission in the Naval Reserve.

He graduated in 1950 as Secretary of his class and president of the Class Secretaries Association. In 1948 he founded and played as the first goalie for the Narragansett Lacrosse Club, the predecessor to Browns varsity lacrosse team. Mr. Cummings participated in the Brown University Sports Foundation and Browns Alumni Lacrosse events until his death. For over forty years, Mr. Cummings served on the Board of Directors of Women & Infants Hospital and as Chairman from 1980-85. He worked diligently in moving the former Providence Lying-In Hospital to its current facility next to R.I. Hospital. In other community service, Mr. Cummings founded the Ocean State Charity Trust, served as treasurer of the Providence Boys Club, vice-president of the Community Chest of R.I. and as trustee for the Wheeler School and the South Kingstown Land Trust. His social clubs included the Hope Club, Turks Head Club, Agawam Hunt, Point Judith Country Club, Sakonnet Golf Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, and the Yale Club of New York City. An avid art collector with a wide range of taste, but a focus on Rhode Island painters, Mr. Cummings opened the Barn Gallery in Matunuck in 1965 and served on the Art Committee for Women & Infants' Hospital. He loved prowling through attics and antique stores looking for overlooked paintings. He once identified an undiscovered John Singleton Copley portrait hanging in a Matunuck home and, so he could appreciate it, rented the house for the summer.

CUNIFF
[Providence RI Journal, Monday 24 March 2003] Cranston -- William
Cunniff, 85, of Western Promenade, a former umpire in chief known for his wit on
the field, died yesterday at Kent County Memorial Hospital, Warwick, after an
illness of 17 years. He was the husband of Elda A. (Maddelena) Cunniff. Born in
Providence, he was a son of the late John and Mildred (Gorham) Cunniff. He was a
former umpire in chief for the Rhode Island Interscholastic League and the Rhode
Island American Legion Baseball League. His duties as umpire in chief included
the weekly assigning of umpires for all Rhode Island Interscholastic League
baseball games and, later in the summer, the American Legion League games. He
was noted for his affable manner, which served him well in calming complaining
managers and athletic directors. An aspiring baseball player during his youth in
the Pawtuxet section of Warwick, he worked his way through the various age group
divisions in the old Providence Amateur League before World War 11. He was a
toolmaker by profession at the former Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. in Providence.
After the war, Mr. Cunniff switched his allegiance to fast-pitch softball, which
flourished in those days. He was gifted with a dry wit, which he used to enhance
his duties in effecting changes in regulations with coaches. On the field, many
a disgruntled coach retreated placidly to the dugout with a smile on his face
after Mr. Cunniff wittily explained a call that the coach had disputed. The
explanation often had nothing to do with the call. He kept up a running
conversation with the schoolboy and American Legion catchers. One of the ploys
he used to win over the catcher was to express his condolences to the catcher
for having to handle the slants of a pitcher who was having difficulty finding
the strike zone. The catcher, out of team loyalty, usually defended the efforts
of his friend, the pitcher, an ongoing effort that kept him from noticing Mr.
Cunniff's calls on the pitchers. One friend of Mr. Cunniff's, Joe Donnelly, a
noted schoolboy football official, likes to tell of the time when a batter,
after Mr. Cunnif had called a strike on him, growled back, "You sure missed
that one." Mr. Cunniff quickly replied, "If I had that bat in my hand,
I wouldn't have missed it." He also umpired in Little League, Babe Ruth
League, the Rhode Island Amateur League, and various college games in Rhode
Island. He was particularly proud of his association with the Fox Point Little
League, the oldest Little League in Rhode Island. Davey Lopes, who rose to
stardom with the Los Angeles Dodgers and later managed the Milwaukee Brewers,
played in that league, and Mr. Cunniff often told stories of how he had
"noticed" Lopes's superior ability. Besides his wife, he leaves a
daughter, Janice Giorgianni of Portsmouth, and three grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren. He was the brother of the late Lawrence and Jack Cunniff,
and Mary Fish. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 9 a.m. from Woodlawn
Funeral Home, 600 Pontiac Ave., with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 in St.
Paul Church, 1 St. Paul's Place. Burial will be in Pawtuxet Memorial Park,
Warwick.
