Peter David Hunter

I met Peter over 30 years ago in Orleans, MA when he was working as a real estate agent. I was trying to learn the true value of a townhouse that was coming up for auction in order to bid intelligently. Even though there was nothing in it for Peter, he graciously spent an entire afternoon driving me around town comparing the auction property to other similar properties on the market. As a result, I was able to purchase the auction property at a very attractive price. In the years following, Peter became my agent for the sale of my townhouse, the purchase of a vacant waterfront lot, the sale of the house I built on that lot and finally, the purchase of a second waterfront lot. Peter was a gentle, kind and selfless soul who I had the pleasure of seeing again in Florida just a few years ago. Thank you, Peter, for your kindness and friendship.

Pete and Arden with their clan of beloved grandchildren. They were beyond proud of each and every one of them.

What a wonderful fellow he was. I'd thought of Pete recently because of the hurricane and then remembered he no longer lived in Florida. You'll miss his advice, support, and love. Think about how long he was a positive, wise big brother. You were fortunate. And of course, I remember Pete especially fondly, for driving us to camp Mohawk. Now that's a lasting memory of 70 or so years!

What a good long life he had with a loving wife and the three Minnesota Missionaries. Sal was planning to move there to live nearby and support Pete, in my mind, that was a wonderful image. He was so kind to drive us to Camp Mohawk, I remember that, too. Sending lots of love and deep sorrow.

I met Pete at Babson as we were in the same class. We were friends after graduation but drifted apart during our work lives. We came back together about 10 years ago when there was an event at Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts celebrating Nathan Lumbard a furniture maker in the early 1800's. Arden was a direct descendant of Nathan. It was wonderful to meet again with them and enjoy their company.
