Henry Clarence Cundy passed away on November 16, 2021, in Casper, Wyoming. He was born June 15, 1946, outside of Spearfish, South Dakota, but he spent most of his adult life as a resident of Wyoming. He was a son of Henry and Amie (Rice) Cundy and was the 11th of 13 children.
He graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1968 with a BA in mathematics, afterward he served in the Air Force, receiving an honorable discharge. Following his military service, he returned to college and earned a BS in accounting in 1973.
