My condolences to the family. I always enjoyed learning facts from Jarvis during lectures and conversations on astronomy with him at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. 

Although I only spent a little time with Jarvis, I thoroughly enjoyed his company & our conversations about astronomy, aliens  and his travel.
My deepest sympathy to Judy & the family.

My condolences to Judy, Chris, Jay and family,

I have so many wonderful memories, starting from the entrance interview with Mr. Hunt as a nervous sixth grader from Crocker elementary school, to sitting in his most excellent science classes.  The technical depth and pleasant style of his teaching propelled me through all my high school courses, even well into college.  He was a great man to know and follow.
My prayer is for Comfort & Peace during your time of grief.


Dear Judith and Hunt family,
We are saddened to learn of Jarvis' passing. But less sad knowing how long he was not well and that now he  can be at rest.
As you know we are long time enthusiasts of amateur astronomy, a great love of his. We participated in at least two different sessions of his local Introduction to Astronomy classes over the years and several time I assisted Jarvis at night sky observing sessions he held outside his garage. 
Jarvis was without peer as a teacher... we will never forget his demonstration of the Doppler Effect on sound (and other waves) when he swung a small portable radio (attached to a rope and playing a constant tone) around his head in class. Doppler Effect changes the pitch you hear depending on whether the sound you hear is approaching or receding. It is important in measuring the distance to far away stars.
We are  happy to be still leading Orientation Sessions at Snow Library a few times a year introducing folks to the small Orion Telescope which the Library lends out to folks. Jarvis and Judith Hunt donated that telescope to the library some three years ago.
Many thanks to Jarvis for the joy of learning good science he  brought to so many people over the years. Peter and Marie Kurtz, Orleans.

Extending my condolences to the Hunt family.  I’ll always have fond memories of Mr. Hunt and his calm demeanor while he helped us learn and undertake various experiments, dissections and lab tests.  I feel privileged and grateful to have known and learned from Mr Hunt.  

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  
Warmest regards, 
Eric  Shapiro & Family 

My heart goes out to the entire Hunt family, especially Judy. Jarvis was my science teacher for two years, and he sparked my interest in science.  Three things stand out: he was encouraging to, and supportive of, every single student; he approached each class as a shared experience in discovery by teacher and students; and his patience and wry wit permeated everything he did.  None of us are indispensable, but Jarvis is irreplaceable.

Judy and family I am sending  you all my condolences.  Jarvis was a wonderful teacher who cared about all the students.  He also was a source of information and help to all the faculty.  He often came into my first grade classroom with a special science lesson.   Some of my favorite memories involve Thanksgiving Feasts.  His "twin" brother, Jeremy would arrive at Lower School in a unique way and the students would be excited to see him.  Then he would carve the turkey.  Great fun and memories for all.  I will be thinking of you and remembering Jarvis.

It was a privilege to teach at Applewild and to have a colleague who quietly and always with dignity shared his views and his knowledge.  I, too, am sad that we have lost him, but not the wisdom he shared to guide Applewild over seven decades.

Judy, Chris, Jay and Family- Sending our deepest condolences. 

Mr. Hunt was that quintessential teacher who so clearly, and vividly,  loved the art of sparking his students curiosity. He made all learning fun, be it in his science lab of intriguing glass jars and odors, out on the Crocker lawn as he herded the entire school into an annual group photo, or in the Bathtub conducting field work for science. His sense of humor and ability to laugh both at himself and generally were infectious. Mr. Hunt as the official carver of our Thanksgiving turkeys; Mr. Hunt leading the annual Parade of the Horribles; and Mr. Hunt as a riotous participant in the faculty softball and Crocker lawn games. To have had this special teacher, this wonderful human being as a part of our lives- what a gift and we treasure it always. 

I think I remember riding in the rumble seat of "Mr Hunts"(As I remember him) car when I was little!  I know he was my favorite teacher and instilled a love and appreciation for science which I continue to have to this day.  Good friends to my parents, I have kept in touch with Judy and "Jerry" (as I remember my parents always calling him) through the years and know Jarvis will be missed by many- a testament to the kind of man he was.  
Love you all and thinking about you!

Judy and family I am truly sorry for your loss...

Jarvis was a devoted teacher, a great colleague to work with at Applewild and his students absolutely adored him. He was steady as a rock and had a great sense of humor.

I remember when we moved into 54 View and Jarvis pointed out the small second floor back balcony saying that is where he set up his telescope to galaxy gaze. Another memory I have is walking by his classroom and pausing when I heard him repeating " ...come on baby, come on baby, come on baby..." I entered the room to see a group of students gathered around him and he said " oh, Bonjour, we are just trying to light this bunsen burner...!"

My niece, Jacquelyn Varjian Shea was reminiscing about cat sitting for you, Judy.

Again, my condolences- he will be missed but, know every time I look at the night sky I do think of him as I am sure many do.

 Fondly- Liz (Mlle .Beard, now Mme Blake)

We have always been and still are grateful for the contribution Jarvis made to the educations of our two children, Bart and Sue,  at Applewild in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. He was one of those teachers in your early years you always remember.

And we as parents remember him as well.

Our best thoughts are with Judy.

Sincerely,

Bart and Kath

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of Mr. Hunt. I am a 1976 graduate of Applewild and I will never forget the laboratory where we learned science's first lessons with Mr. Hunt in front of the chalkboard. He was always filled with enthusiasm and laughter, but he heralded  serious mindedness when class was at hand. He was a model of respectfulness for all. And he always taught us to reach for the stars. My sympathies to all of you.... 

My sincere condolences to the Hunt family. I wanted to share a memory of him as my science teacher at Applewild. Mr. Hunt emphasized for us the important of avoiding the word "thing" in our writing—describe the thing or think of a more specific word, he said. I didn't end up becoming a scientist, but I did become a writer, and I still follow Mr. Hunt's advice today. I don't remember all my teachers, but I do remember Mr. Hunt and am so grateful for the kindness and generosity he radiated in his classroom.

Mr. Hunt will always personify for me what makes an outstanding science teacher,  or any teacher, for that matter.
I’ve got many fond memories of him, draped in his well worn lab coat, extolling upon the known and unknown corners of the solar system; reminding us that with bar soap comes more bacteria; and testing our actual horse power as we sprinted up the back staircase. 
This “stout fellow” is forever  thankful we crossed paths!

Sending my heart felt condolences to Judy, Jay and Christopher.
 Mr. Hunt was a favorite of mine when I was a student at Applewild School. He helped me to know that it was just fine to be curious, and to want to learn as much as I could about our natural world. He inspired me to be a student.  I have only the fondest memories of Jarvis and will cherish them now more than ever.
