I never met hunter or his family but I met his father Jeff a while back and it is safe to say we have become friends. Aside I can tell you my heart goes out to him and his family at this time as I myself have lost 2 children in previous years and know what it's like to live with a broken heart. All I can really say to all is that you will never get over the loss. However, you can and will get thru it. To all, please be strong and remember the good in his life and your own and cherish your memories. Because that will never go away. I am so sorry for your loss and I can tell you with a heavy heart that even though I didn't know him I am greatly effected by loss of this kind and will always be. My thoughts are with you and yours at this time.
Mike Buttafuoco.
