Sorry to hear of the passing of Hunter, we both worked with Hunter @ Abbott. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Randy & Diane Rivenbark
Hunter and I worked together both in Laurinburg and in RMT. I found that he was an excellent manager and a good friend. His laughter will be sorely missed. Dan Bell
Hunter was such a wonderful weaver of stories…he could and did take ordinary happenings and flip them over just like someone cooking a pancake and serve you such hilarity. It was a gift.
I knew Hunter from working with him at Abbott. He was really a nice person to work with. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him. That smile he had and laugh he will surely be missed!. May God Bless Your Family, I am truly sorry for your lost. He is probably really smiling now that he is with our Lord. Barbara & Kirby
