Hunt A. Lusk

He recently celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife Barbara and his 88th birthday with his family and friends.

Known for his quick wit and charm, Hunt was the master of one-liners. Always kind and patient, he was the epitome of a perfect gentleman. An avid sportsman, he could be found riding his bike around Greenwich Point (and in his earlier years jogging), sailing and on the tennis courts at Riverside Yacht Club and golfing at the Bruce. Hunt loved music, playing the piano was one his favorite pastimes.

Hunt was born in New York City to Katharine and William Lusk and raised in New Canaan with his brothers Bill and Charlie. A graduate of New Canaan Country School, Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale University, Hunt had a thirst for knowledge and always wanted to learn something new.

After graduating from Yale in 1959, Hunt joined the Army and was stationed in Virginia. Following his service, Hunt had a 45-year long career in finance including his first job at Fiduciary Trust Company, many years at Drexel Burnham Lambert and concluding his career at Morgan Stanley.

In addition to his wife and brother Charlie, Hunt is survived by his children, Hunt Morgan of Denver, CO; Eric (Holly) of Harpswell, ME and Katharine Berger (Joshua) of Remsenburg, NY and a step-daughter, Mary (Jay) of Atlanta, GA. He found great joy in his 5 grandchildren, Nathanial, Zachary, Dashiell, Margaret and Thompson and his 2 step-grandchildren Jack and Harrison, as well as 2 great-grandchildren, Riley and Hunter.

A ceremony to honor his extraordinary life will take place on Friday, June 20th at Riverside Yacht Club.
