VW Gardiner wrote a sympathy message

“Hunter was a dear cousin and delighted in trying to make me laugh at times that we shouldn't be laughing. He could be seen walking around Wake Forest when he was growing up and loved his walks around the Seminary campus. Thank you to those who took care of this gentle man.”
