Our deepest condolences to the Hunter Family. We know that Jim will be deeply missed.
Some of my fondest memories as a child were going to the Hunter household for meals, visits and just stopping by to say hello. Uncle Jim taught me the secret lumber jack handshake…I have since created many more handshakes to share with the little ones I’ve come across…it made me feel special when he did that… I’m sorry for your loss Hunter family and I miss you all.!
Dear Lois
I was saddened to hear of Jim’s death and I am sending my condolences to you and your family. I have wonderful memories of both Jim and you as volunteers at the London Scottish Rite Learning Centre. Jim was a joy to be around and provided the Centre with many hours of service. Sending love and prayers
