He earned numerous medals and ribbons including a Good Conduct Medal, Bronze Star Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon, WW II Victory Ribbon, and a Combat Infantry Man Badge. A member of the Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 453, he worked in, and eventually retired from, the construction field. For many years, he worked at South Cumberland Planing Mill, which sparked his love of woodworking. Bunny made many pieces of furniture with his brother Curt over the years. He was also an avid Orioles fan.Summers were best enjoyed at Blue Beach camping with his friends and family. A kind and gentle soul, Bunny adored his family. There was never a "mean streak" in him, and he was always around when someone needed him. He was the type of person to give anyone the shirt off his back, a "yes man" who was always willing to help.Bunny was a jokester who liked to make people laugh. His memory, though, was no joke. It has been described as a "steel trap." Bunny could remember everything from childhood antics with his siblings to the phone number for the grocery store. His family marveled at his ability to recall names and phone numbers, a talent he had retained even in old age until the day he died.Bunny is survived by his daughter, Eva C. Mace and husband Robert, Cumberland; grandchildren, Christa Griffith and husband "Tank," Rebecca Logsdon and husband Alan, Danielle Kaiser and husband David, Andrea Shaffer and husband Don, Kathrine Geiger, and Jeffrey Geiger; great-grandchildren, Ashlee, Desiree, Michelle, Bryan, Jacob, Graci, Charlotte, and Dayton; and great-great-granddaughter, Alee.
