Daniel Hunter

I had the pleasure of taking care of Dan for 2 years at Hillcrest Commons. He was funny and smart and I am sad that he is gone. I know he is telling jokes in heaven. He loved his girls and talked of them often. Fly with the angels Dan till we meet again.

I met Dan when I was about 7-8 years-old back in 1972 (or so) when he and his wife moved into the Silver Pines apartment building in East Hartford. Dan worked with my father, Dami, at Aetna and introduced me. After Dan found out that I loved playing football, he took me to my first ever football game in 1973 at the Yale Bowl between the NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. He drove us in his old VW Bug and told me to be careful not to step on a certain spot in the back seat. When I lifted...

Abby and Anne, I remember your father well from our days in PWP as a man who loved to laugh and loved to see others smiling as well. One of the things I recall most vividly, though, is the way his eyes would light up when he talked about his girls. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so happy to have known Dan.

When my mom was at Hillcrest, she always looked forward to seeing Dan with his happy outlook and his sense of humor. She used to save her banana for him. Rest in peace, Dan.

Dan will certainly be missed by the HCC crew! Thoughts and prayers to all of his family. Godspeed Dan!

I did not know Dan, but judging by this wonderful written tribute, I can tell that he was indeed one-of-a kind and loved far and wide.
