Bill was a wonderful representation of "The Greatest Generation". A heroic example of quiet strength, honor, respect, hard work, and humility. They don't make men like him anymore. It's sadly the end of an era, and he will be missed. Love and deepest condolences go out to Gert, Sandra, and the rest of their family. By the way, the service was beautiful, and befitting of the honorable man that Bill was. xo

Our hearts go out to you on this solemn occasion. It's at times like these that we reflect upon how we touch the lives of others. It is clear from the obituary, Mr. Hunt has had a profound impact and will leave this world far better than it was before his arrival.

Deepest sympathies to Sandy & Aimé. Our thoughts are with you...
