Dr. Hunt had a love for learning, teaching and people. He himself was always learning something new and liked sharing that information with his friends and took special interest tending to his grandchildren and family. Many of his peers and students admired him as a compassionate teacher. Dr. Hunt never met a stranger and people were often drawn to him. He appreciated the simple things. When George had free time he could be found out in the great outdoors fishing and tending to birds and animals or frequent travels to the beach in his RV camper. After their nest was empty he and Dree were never apart. They traveled together keeping tabs on their kids and enjoying their days together. He will be greatly missed and leaves a legacy of finding the beauty in learning.
