Bryce McClelland Hunter

Bryce McClelland Hunter died in Toronto on Tuesday, September 9, 2014.
  He leaves behind his wife, Connie Hunter (née Doelman), his companion, champion and his love. He also leaves his children Brooke Hunter, Scott Hunter, Todd Hunter and Carrie Hunter (Jonathan Black) who will continue to 'build people up' just as he guided them. Lukas Hunter, Ailish Gaynor and Aubrey Gaynor will miss fishing with their Grandad.
  Born October 21, 1945 to Bryce Pepall Hunter (Pep) and Elizabeth Jane Hunter (née McClelland), Bryce came from 'old-school' Toronto, reveled in its history, but always had his eyes cast to the future. Bryce was intellectually adventurous which contributed to his unique way of expressing his opinions and his optimistic view of the world. He adored maintaining a wide group of dear friends and was the first to strike up a conversation making a new best friend along the way.
  Educated at Upper Canada College and Western University, Bryce earned his BA in Economics starting out as a Chartered Accountant followed by a fulfilling career as an insurance broker with Hunter, Rowell and ultimately Hunters International. Bryce was a successful business builder through a combination of pointed acumen, intense discipline and a genuine desire to bring the best out in people.
  Sportsmanship played a large part in Bryce's life. A top-notch golf and squash player through focus and grit, he was relentless yet gracious. Roon the Ben, the R&A, TGC, Mad River, Eastbourne and Old Memorial have lost a keener.
  Bryce had a visceral connection to 'Schoonesh', the property he and Connie shaped in Mulmur, founded on a deep mutual appreciation of nature and a desire to preserve as much as they could.
