Whenever Hunter would visit, his first question would be, “Watcha gonna feed me?” His favorite music was anything by Ozzy. When Hunter walked into a room his smile brought his “presence” right to you. “He had the prettiest eyelashes that most girls would kill for.” Always willing to lend a helping hand, Hunter spent countless hours helping family move their belongings to safe ground during the flood of 2008. He was a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan…”Go xo># Vikings!”
