Joe Cunningham Accident
There are no words powerful enough to fully express the pain, shock, and sorrow that ripples through all of us in this moment. Joe was not only a skilled and hardworking laborer but also a loyal brother in the union, a dependable friend, and a man known for his strong work ethic, steady presence, and generous spirit. His passing leaves a void that can never be filled.
Joe was the kind of person who led by example—quietly, humbly, and with unwavering integrity. He took pride in his craft, showed up every day ready to give his all, and treated everyone around him with respect and kindness. Whether it was on a job site, at union meetings, or in the company of his coworkers, Joe embodied the values that Local 310 stands for: solidarity, dignity, and hard work.
Today, the entire Local 310 family grieves not only the loss of a brother but also the loss of a good man who had so much more life to live. We extend our deepest condolences to Joe’s family, friends, and loved ones. We grieve with them and stand beside them during this time of unimaginable loss.
As we await the results of the ongoing investigation into the accident, we remain committed to ensuring that Joe’s life and legacy are honored with the utmost respect. His dedication and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and worked alongside him.
Joe Cunningham died doing what he had long devoted himself to—building, laboring, and contributing to something larger than himself. For that, and for so much more, he will always be remembered.
Rest in power, Brother Joe. You will be missed deeply and honored always.
