"Mr. Hunt" was my 5th grade teacher in Lebanon, NH grade school. I'll always remember when he took a small group of us kids to a piano concert at Dartmouth College. I've never forgotten him.
My condolences to his
family.

This is with my deepest sympathy. Mr. Hunt, you were my favorite teacher if all time. You taught me so much. From the typical learnings, to how to play cribbage or chess, I chose both, you inspired me to want to learn, and not just school, but life. You taught us how to square dance, than more importantly, chose myself and Shelly to to go square dancing with you and your wife Patricia. It may seem small, but I've carried your lessons throughout life.
R.I.P. Mr. Hunt, may you and your wife enjoy square dancing and love. Save me a spot on the dance floor, because we will dance again. Make sure to practice your cribbage as my game excelled.
As adults, it was always to see you while I was your ups driver, thank occasionally at 1 store or another.
Sincerely,
Nick Eastman Falzo

A kind eccentric man that I had the pleasure of being under his care. Thank you for honing my cribbage skills, and how to build a bridge!

Mr. Hunt was my teacher at Hartland Elementary School for 6th grade. I´ll never forget him! He was quite the personality; he got us to read the Canterbury Tales which was quite an advanced book for our grade level. That book opened my eyes to a whole new world and helped encourage my love of reading.
My condolences to his family.
