Dickie was a great guy to grow up with in Mount Pleasant,SC where General William Moultrie High School was our alma mater - class of 1966.
He and wife Brenda Hunt(formerly McCann) were
wonderful people - much loved by all in our little high school.
Dickie was an excellent student and wonderful football player.

My husband and I met Dick 4-1/2 years ago right before we moved into our new home in Waterford Pointe. We were taking a walk in our soon-to-be subdivision and ran into Dick and his adorable Golden, Maggie Mae. We must have talked to Dick half an hour if not more. There was an instant connection! Once we moved into our subdivision and took our daily walks, we ran into Dick and Maggie May often. We soon met Brenda and had them over at our first hosting of Knights & Forks. They soon invited us over for dinner, and we would go out to dinner now and again at Paesano´s. A year or so so later Dick wasn´t feeling well. We prayed for him every single day and surely missed seeing him on our daily walks. We would still meet up with him and Brenda for dinner and text/call each other. What I remember most about Dick is his joy for life and how he would light up when he would talk about Brenda, Maggie Mae, his family, and Christmas. We truly admired him. I will miss his most wonderful personality and his infectious smile. He was definitely a beacon of light. We will never forget you, Dick. We miss you and love you. Thank you for touching our life. We love you, Brenda. Love, Jean & HB Bauer

Dickie and Brenda were wonderful friends to all in our then little town of Mount Pleasant,SC. where we went to grammar school, junior high and finally General William Moultrie High School - all a small campus. And knew our schoolmates. Dickie was a smiling, likable and smart guy. And a really good football player. Much loved by all -and especially admired by all the girls for his good looks!

David and I are sad to hear of Dick's passing, but it is comforting to know that he knew the Lord Jesus. He was an outstanding young man at Moultrie and he will remain in our cherished memories of our youth. God's comfort and blessings be with you and all the family. David and Sally Sweatt

I met Mr Hunt through grooming his "golden girl" Maggie Mae. Knowing him for years and watching his battles, and how positive he always stayed by his faith in God. He was such a generous and caring man. He blessed my family with so much. I will forever remember him, and miss him.
