Cundy was known as the Chief of the famous El Nido Restaurant.

A talent chief that decided to change direction of his career, and served the state of New Mexico. He was an avid horseman, fisherman, and hunter that loved Northern New Mexico. He loved his Dallas Cowboys, and he was a letterman in his day. He was an outgoing and kind person that went out of his way for anyone. His kindness will be dearly missed.

Pia and Family, Please accept my deepest condolences. I surprisingly saw Cundy at Walmart several months ago. Cundy always held a special place in my heart. I spent a lot of time in Tesuque as a child with my dad, Barney Roybal since we were related. Cundy was a wonderful person and we loved him very much. May the Lord give you all strength and grace during this difficult time. May Cundy rest in the arms of his Saviour Jesus Christ. Linda Baca
