Peacefully at Queensway Carleton Hospital with his family by his side, on Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Son of Thomas Arthur Hunt and Hilda Mae Jeacle, loving and caring husband of 62 years of Clarissa Anne (nee Rankin), devoted father of Linda (Bill Hnatko) and Nancy (Ted Corey), cherished grandfather of Andy (Lauren) and DeeDee (Matt). Predeceased by his brother Frederick Van Hunt. Gerry met his wife Anne while studying Chemistry at Carleton University. Upon graduation he started working for the Federal Government, Radioactivity Division of the Mines Branch, Department of Mines & Technical Surveys. His love of dogs led him to the newly formed Ottawa Valley Beagle Club where he soon became a C.K.C Field Trial Judge, judging hounds in Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, Michigan and N.Y. State. He was the proud owner of a Field Trial Champion produced and bred from his own kennel. Later in his career he became Head of Solution Chemistry for the Department of Energy Mines and Resources (EMR) until retirement in 1988. This gave him the opportunity to enjoy family life at his cottage.
