March 4, 1927-October 28, 2024

After circling the sun 97 times, Russ, better known by many as Russy, has left his earthly body. The last of the mountain men! Son of the late Robert and the late Ruby Hunter. Husband of the late Eileen Hunter (nee Black) and friend of the late Christina Lamming. Survived by his son Rick (Denise) and grandchildren Greg and Kelly (Carl) as well as his daughter Denise, grandchildren Kevin, Karl, Kris (Amy) and great grandchildren, Kurtis and Leni. Sister of Eunice Fewchuk (late Eugene). Brother of the late Ollie Hunter (late Simone).

A heartfelt thank you going out to his Echo Bay family, the hospital staff and Pathways for helping with his journey as well as the staff at Beggs Funeral Home for their outstanding service.

At Russ’ request there will be no funeral or visitation. His final resting place will be Dunns Valley, his home.

*A poem by his son

After a lot of arguing and shoving. 

The powers above and the powers below. 

Have decided, which way Russ will go.  

 

Donations to the Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.
