Missing my Granddaddy today and always. Watching the service live from Nashville, wishing we could be there. Reminiscing through old pictures of him wearing my baby bonnet on my first Easter. He always left me with a smile!

All my love,
"Bartholomew"

I worked with Hunter several years at the courthouse in Tuskegee. I admired his sense of humor, compassion for others and his family. I can truly say he was a Southen Gentlemen with such ease. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. In His Name, Shirley Morgan/Capps

Sorry to hear about Hunter. I have many fond memories of him growing up in Tuskegee. He will be missed by many. My prayers for his family.
