To: The Hunter Family,

I would like to offer condolences to the Hunter Family on behalf of myself and the rest of the 1963 Cloquet High School State Runners-up BB Team of which Keith was an intricate member. Our prayers are with Keith and all of the Hunter Family on this sad occasion.

Hunter Family,

I just learned of Keith's passing. It is difficult to hear of the loss of members from the Garfield School neighborhood. I remembered your family fondly each time I looked across the alley. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

How tragic your passing so soon after our recently re-established relationship, and our childhood experiences so very few. I will hold dear the memories I have, and I will rest assured that your suffering is no more. Love you cousin.

My brother, Keith. Although not formally schooled beyond high school, he had a brilliant mind. He was very quick-witted and had a great sense of humor. He gave financial aid and wise council to many, including me. He had no children, but was very family-oriented, taking great pride in the accomplishments of his nieces and nephews. He was a strong, proud , and brave man. Although in great pain and distress during his year-long battle against cancer, he never complained nor sought pity. He faced death with grace and dignity. Keith, my brother, I loved you dearly. You are in my thoughts daily and in my heart forever. I miss you. May you rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences go out to Keiths' family and all who loved him so much.......Keith was always a big brother to me, he always looked out for me & advised me well, he walked me down the aisle in 2001 to marry my wonderful husband Ed (Luigi). I have many happy memories of times shared and all the times he made us laugh, what a sense of humor & great intellect. He will be missed but never forgotten and always loved. Till we meet again my dear friend...........Mae & Ed

I cannot put in words how much I miss you. You were not only my brother, you were my best friend. I'll miss our daily coffee "klatches", your wit and your laugh. I love you with all my heart.

If we were able to pick our family members, Keith surely would have been at the top of my list. He was a wonderfull brother and will sorely be missed. There is now a hole in my heart that will take a long time to heal if ever. Rest in peace brother, you are loved by many.

Keith was a very good friend to me! He helped me and my children when we were down and out and continued to be a good friend throughout the years. I am very happy that I was able to see him in June when I returned to AK for vacation. My condolences to the family....the world has lost a kind hearted man!

I declare, half of Cloquet must have moved to Alaska. It's been 40+ years since I encountered Marilyn on the steps of the old Federal Building, but I've thought of the Hunter family often, since then. I'm so sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He graduated a year after his sister and I did, and he was far too young to leave us. My condolences to his family.
