I met Hunter about 26 years ago..he was truly a good man. He loved his family, his employees and Savannah. The last time I saw him was at a sand gnats game a couple of years ago. He still had that smile. Even though he was my client retirement plan..I regarded him as a friend. He was a gentleman with a sense of humor. I am very sad of his passing. My heartfelt condolances to the family. He loved you so much.
