Born January 9, 1935 in Jersey City, NJ, he was the son of the late Harold and Dora Garbee and brother of Richard Garbee (Columbia, SC) and the late Allen Garbee.
Following graduation from Lafayette College (Easton, PA) in 1956, Hunter married his high school sweetheart, the late Joyce Fickbohm. Hunter and Joyce enjoyed his 35-year career with Linde Division of Union Carbide, a career that took the couple to numerous states prior to retirement in Charlotte.
Those left to cherish his memory are children Cindy Garbee Coats (Kila, MT), Beth Brunner (Charlotte) and David Garbee (Charlotte); and grandsons Hunter Brunner (Raleigh) and David Brunner (Belmont) thrived on Hunter's generous and gregarious nature.
Hunter actively participated in many organizations to include Sharon Presbyterian Church, Lions Clubs, Retired Couples Club, Senior Scholars, and local theater groups. A life-long learner, Hunter was an avid reader with a love for travel, mysteries and mingling with people.
A memorial service and reception to celebrate Hunter's life will be held 11:00 on Saturday, February 11, 2023 at Sharon Presbyterian Church, 5201 Sharon Road, Charlotte NC 28210.
