HERBERT H. HUNT
SUGAR HILL, NH -- Herbert H. Hunt, 95, a lifelong resident of Sugar Hill, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, November 19th after a brief period of declining health.
"Herbie" was born October 8, 1925 in Streeter District, Sugar Hill to George and Mattie Hunt. He attended Dow Academy through his senior year when World War II forced him to remain at home to work on the family farm. He would later enlist in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany early in the Korean War. When discharged, he returned to Sugar Hill and began working for the State of New Hampshire in Franconia Notch, a job he held for 32 years. At the state, his work included general merchandizing, snowmaking, Flume trail maintenance, and operations maintenance. It was at the Profile Store, in the notch, where he met his future wife, Lorraine Stewart Hunt. They were married September 23, 1950 and made their home in Sugar Hill.
Herbie was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, gardening, cutting wood, and maple sugaring at the family sugar houses. He was always busy helping family members with their home projects, caretaking for a number of community families, including the Perkins family, volunteering with the Sugar Hill Fire Department, and keeping bees. He was a loyal Boston sports fan following whichever team was playing. He also enjoyed traveling with family members and trying his luck at casinos in New England and Las Vegas.
He was predeceased by his wife Lorraine of 62 years in 2012 and his son Arthur Hunt in 2015. He is survived by four children: Alicia Hunt of Sugar Hill, James Hunt (Kathy) of Easton, Richard Hunt (Claudia) of Sugar Hill, and Kenneth Hunt of Bethlehem and daughter-in-law Laurie Boswell of Franconia; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He is survived by a sister-in-law Alice Hunt along with many nieces and nephews. He was also pre-deceased by his seven brothers (Arthur, Winton, Jasper, Everett, Raymond, Robert, and Fred) and three sisters (Dorothy, Eleanor, and Helen).
SERVICES -- Graveside services will be held in the spring at the Sunnyside Cemetery in Sugar Hill.
Donations may be made in his memory to the Sugar Hill Fire Department, PO Box 574, Sugar Hill, NH 03586.
The Cremation Society of New Hampshire, Littleton is in charge of arrangements. To view an On-Line Tribute, send condolences to the family, or for more information, please go to www.csnh.com.
