I had the pleasure of meeting Tab l worked in a ski shop in Newport Beach, CA. He was raising and training horses I Laguna Beach. I sold him a few parkas over the years. He was such handsome and charming and always gracious. It was fun to watch middle aged ladies get excited when they recognized him. He was beautiful inside and out. I always enjoyed our visits. Tab was a class act

He lost his brother, Walter, in 1965, in Vietnam. He was 35 years of age. Tab took care of Walter's seven children and widow. He never forgot his brother or his sense of duty to Walter's family.
Tab is to be praised for his love and honor to his brother. My brother is, also, a Vietnam Casualty, May of 1967. I, too, have not forgotten my brother, either. Tab was a good man, son, brother and partner.
He was loyal and had a keen sense of class and dignity. I am sorry to see him go, but, perhaps, he has gone to a better place, and is, now, with his brother Walter? It is my sincere wish that Tab be with his brother as it is my sincere wish to be with my brother Michael.
I painted this in oils, these Rose's will last forever !

I think he was so handsome because the beauty he had inside was so great that it could not be contained within his heart. We're lucky to have had him.❤

I have memories of my mother talking about Tab Hunter during my childhood. I have just now begun to appreciate his kind spirit and dedication to his craft. I have ordered his book and am watching the movie on Netflix this weekend. He was an outstanding example of how to be a true, perfect gentleman, inside and out.

Tab had the look of the All American Boy. Having him as a boyfriend was what preteen and young teenage girls dreamed about. Tab had a lot of charm throughout his career, charm that he continued to exhibit in his personal life. He had such a positive outlook on life. Tab will surely be missed.

Tab Hunter was a wonderful human being. He could do anything from singing, skating, acting and horseback riding. He was an excellent role model and modest about it. My condolences to his partner Mr. Glaser. How the angels in heaven must have danced when Tab arrived! May he rest in peace.

Tab Hunter was a real gentleman, a truly remarkable person. It's a pity he had to endure what he endured. However, in the end I believe he found true happiness. He will be missed not only by legions of people, but also by his beloved horses. My heartfelt condolences to his husband and family. RIP, Tab.

As a young teenager I adored Tab Hunter and seeing him in concert in NYC was a highlight of my youth. I was a member of his fan club, but more importantly as an adult I came to admire him for his elegance and honesty after seeing the documentary which his partner Allan Glaser produced. May he RIP.

Such and honor knowing you from showing horses and years after saw Tab Hunter Confidential in Ojai. No surprise because we knew lots of the gay guys in the 1960's at horse shows and we didn't care---it didn't matter, they were our friends and I was 14. Mom , when she travelled with me, didn't care either. Also, remember JJ Smith well and what a hoot. JJ told my Mom he went to Vassar and she thought it was really funny. Tab, most important, you were such a nice person and loved horses as I did. RIP and condolences to your husband. I lost my husband of 41 years this Easter and it is really hard------41 years for me and 35 years for Allan aren't enough. Thinking of Allan.

I was very saddened to learn of the death of Tab Hunter, one of the most handsome young actors the Hollywood studio system ever produced, who was also a talented singer, equestrian and ice skater and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
In my mind Mr. Hunter will always be that handsome blond boy in his 20s who sure could fill out a Speedo swimsuit nicely and had a warm, inviting smile.
I hope someday more episodes of Tab's largely forgotten but amusing, eponymously-titled NBC sitcom will surface for all to enjoy. That series has not been seen by most persons at this point and not by some since the last summer reruns in 1961, nearly 60 years ago.
My condolences to Mr. Hunter's family and friends. I hadn't even known Tab was in poor health. And it's trite and wrong to say something like, "Well, 86 years is a good long life." It is still always sad when a nice person leaves us, no matter how old that person is at the time of his passing. I also know, when a celebrity of a certain age passe, it is often stated that so-and-so "is one of the last of his kind." But in the case of Mr. Hunter that is pretty nearly true. There simply aren't very many Hollywood actors from Mr. Hunter's era still living among us. And the sadder thing is there aren't very many younger actors around today who possess the same versatile talents of actors such as Tab Hunter. Hollywood is a different animal today, and in some ways not for the better.
Tab Hunter is truly a Hollywood legend. He was a legend in his time and will continue to be so for the ages. I think the best way to honor Tab is to continue to watch the films and television programs in which he acted and listen to his several musical recordings still available.

Deepest sympathies on the passing of such a fine human being. His talent and honesty are an inspiration, and the real legacy, of Mr. Hunter. We got to know Tab many years ago while he was living in Santa Fe. He was always quick with a kind word and a genuine smile. He will be sorely missed.
