Francis E. Cunion

Born in Olyphant, he was the son of the late Eugene and Anna Domanish Cunion and the step-son of the late Peter Sheptock. He was a 1956 graduate of the Olyphant / Johnson Tech High School. In 1972, through hard work and determination, he founded Heritage Homes along with his friend and mentor Angelo Guzzi.

Francis was well known and loved by everyone he met. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed spending time outdoors especially hunting and fishing. He was also an exceptional artisan who excelled at carpentry, stone carving and wood working. He and wife Barbara met at Elk Mountain and enjoyed traveling and skiing throughout their marriage. He was a member of the Greystone Hunting Club, where he was the club treasurer for 25 years, the Scranton Country Club, and was a former member of the Elmhurst Country Club. Other organization memberships include being a member of the Lackawanna Home Builders Association as well as the past President of the Olyphant Lions Club. But the main passion in his life was his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, who will be dearly missed.

Also surviving is a daughter Jacqueline Hunt and her husband Robert of Scott Twp, two grand children Justin King and Julianne Hunt and a son-in-law Jeffery King.

He was preceded in death by a daughter Jill King and a step-brother William Sheptock.
