| With a heavy heart, I’m sad to announce the passing of Greg “Airbrushler” Cunningham on March 30th, 2021. Greg has been a long time member here, even though he hadn't been to many Battleday meets in a long time, he has been a major contributor to the forum. Greg was always supportive and willing to help members (old and new), and was quick with a joke too. The man had a heart of gold, and I truly wish he believed in himself more, like those who knew him did. Greg and I had worked together for almost 20 years, but for me, Greg was much more than a co-worker, he was a true friend, almost like a brother. If it wasn’t for Greg I wouldn’t have gotten into this hobby and met so many wonderful people. For that, I’m truly thankful. Greg in his early hockey career. Mural he painted in his younger years. Look good Mr. Cunningham! Greg having fun on one of the many tank forums he belonged to. Meeting Kenny vs. Spenny, one of his favourite shows. Not only did he enjoy painting, but also liked fabricate too. Goodbye my friend. https://www.familiesfirst.ca/memorials/gilbert-cunningham/4573405/index.php _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| I will always remember Greg and a good guy and a happy soul, he loved to build and paint and was vary good at doing so. He truly liked to try and help people when he could. We really did not see enough of him at our Tank gatherings but Derek would always be kind enough to invite him on the long trip from Windsor to the Fort Erie battle field and he was always part of the fun when he attended. He left us earlier in life but he did know that I was his friend, we had a lot of late night texting on Tanks, model Train wiring issues, painting and recently 3D printing projects. You may of known him as Airbrushler on some of the forums, (that was his take on a 1966 Batman character name for himself) but the lucky few of us will remember him as our friend Greg. You will be missed, your friend Frank Vella.
Thank you Derek for posting . _____________________________________________ The Great Pan-Tiger |

| Thank you for posting Derek, Greg truly was a friend to everyone here on the forum. A very giving person who was always quick to volunteer his knowledge and expertise. Greg and I swapped a lot of parts and stories along the way and I know exactly what you mean about believing in himself more.
I will miss the random "hey, how's it going" PM's I got from Greg over the years....
RIP my friend... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| GD... I was hoping that he would pull through...
I only met Greg in person a handful of times when I first started out into RC tanking, but we corresponded via PM over several things like his new found 3D printing interest.
Derek, please give his family our condolences and heartfelt wishes. |

| I did not get to meet Greg in person. His knowledge and advise was always positive here. He will be remembered. He will be missed. _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]

| So sorry to hear it. I have never met Greg in person unfortunately but have exchanged tons of PMs and also have the pleasure of getting him to paint many of my tanks. RIP Buddy. |

| I have only just heard of our terrible loss. It was only a couple weeks ago I was speaking to Greg. Last I saw he was recovering from surgery. He was one of the most generous and true people I had the pleasure to call a friend. He recently 3d printed some parts for an old kit of mine. I'll miss you my brother. Rest easy. |
