Mr. Cuneo, a prominent Philanthropist, nationally known horse breeder, and collector or art and fine books, came from a wealthy family.But he spurned the chance to join his father's produce firm and struck out on his own to build a fortune. A family spokesman said he was active until his death, putting in a full business day until he was hospitalized recently and continued to conduct business by telephone from his hospital bed.
Mr. Cuneo began amassing his fortune in 1907, when he borrowed $10,000 to found Cuneo Press. He built it into one of the giants of commercial printing.
In 1965 his personal net worth was estimated at more than $120 million.

His father, Frank Cuneo, president of the produce firm of Garibaldi and Cuneo, invested in real estate and was credited with starting the development of the Wilson Avenue business district in 1910.
Mr. Cuneo was a benefactor of such causes as the Frank Cuneo Memorial Hospital, the Catholic Church, and Loyola University and its Stritch School of Medicine.
