Robert Hunt Obituary

Robert Andrew Hunt "POPS" 1937 ~ 2008 Our beloved father passed away peacefully on December 16, 2008. Dad was the oldest of three children born to Andrew George, and Ruth Ardell Whitaker Hunt. Dad was born on June 19, 1937 in Pocatello, ID. He married Marian Delcrew June 24, 1956. They raised their four children in Livermore, California and Cache Valley, Utah. Dad and Mom were later divorced, but have remained close friends. Dad's greatest joy was spending time with his family, extended and immediate. He especially loved visiting with his grandchildren and he is so proud of each of them. He also enjoyed many years working alongside his three sons and his own father as brick masons. Dad loved to work hard at all he did. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has served in many callings through his life. He loved the families he home taught, and the home teaching companions he had. Dad had the opportunity to serve a service mission in the Logan Temple. Dad loved the temple and has a firm testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He felt like his life was richly blessed. Bob is survived by our mother, Marian Paul; children, John (Faye), Concord, CA; Andy (Kim), Oakley, CA; Richard, Brentwood, CA; and Robyne (Shane) London, Sandy, UT; 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; also survived by a sister, Patricia (Jerry) Jackman, Salt Lake City, and a brother, Randy (Bonnie) of Farmington UT, and by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. We would like to thank the staff at The Wentworth and Sunbrook Hospice, along with the members of the Alta Heights Ward and London and Child families, for their friendship, love, support and care given to our father. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, December 20, 2008 at the Alta Heights Ward Chapel, 1500 East 8600 South, at 11:00 a.m. Friends and families may call on Friday evening December 19th at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 South 2300 East, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and at the church Saturday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the service.

Robyne, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I know just how near and dear he was, and still is to your heart. Please know that I feel a deep sense of empathy with you. The veil is thin; I know that you will feel his presence near you from time to time. During this time of sadness, may the Spirit of the Lord melt away your pain and comfort your heart is my prayer.

I was so lucky to have Pops as my grandpa. Pops was not only my grandpa, but my bestfriend too. He was always happy to see us. We would walk in and no matter what he was doing he always had time to visit with us. We would sit in on his couch, watch golf, and eat croutons and drink Ruby Red Grapefruit and Tangerine. I had the oppertnity to live next door to him for 11 years before he had to move into assisted living. During that time I would be over at his appartment everyday after school. I would go to the store with him most of the time. We would ride the bus to Maceys. I was scared whenever I wasn't able to go or when he went while I was at school. Mainly because I was his eyes. I liked going to the store with him because he would always get me a treat. When Pops had to go to assisted living I would go over and visit him as much as I could. We would sit and talk then go play some pool. Pops was always nice to us. I only saw him yell once and I barely remember it. Whenever any of his grandkids came to visit, he got his famous smile on. Pops loved his family so much. Thanks mom and dad for letting Pops live with us for so long. Because of that I got to know a great man, whom I will never, ever forget.
