Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I met Frank in fist grade at OLPH Catholic School. He was the tallest student in our class and even at six yrs old showed evidence of a great man in the making. Gentle in spirit and a friend to the world, Frank just had a demeanor that was kind,welcoming and sincere. We graduated HS together in 1982 and lost touch as we set out to pursue the lives that we would make for ourselves. I would see Frank at the HS reunions and we would always speak of a memory and have a laugh. Those who shared their life with Frank must be regarded as most fortunate as is evidenced in the outpouring of praise and love in these condolences. Frank,may you now rest in God's eternal embrace as you will always remain in my memory as wonderful friend - George Lindsey

May God give the family strength and comfort at this difficult time. Mr. Hunter was a wonderful person, he will be missed, but his spirit and legency will live on. Rest in peace. Richard and Linette Hewlin

I met Frank as a teenager, hanging around with Tony Stephens at the radio station (WRSV 92.1). Later got to know him more as he attended college at NCCU and I attended ECU and so many of my friends were at NCCU. As we all grew up and came back home we'd all hang out at the same places or run into each other and laugh at the least little jokes of each other and crazy things we were all doing at the time. Going to miss running into you Frank. It's unbelievable that you're gone. My sympathies and prayers to your family. Heaven has another Angel!.... Sonya Johnson

My sincere condolences to the family of Frank Hunter. I was sadden to hear of Frank's passing. Frank and I met at NCCU in 1982 standing in H line in cafe. Frank and I share stories of our families, we both loved professional and college sports. We both came from Greek families. Frank was a gentleman with a loving spirit. I heard about Frank's passing Matthew 25:23 came to mind. His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' - Matthew 25:23 NKJV Frank was a blessing to so of us!!! May Frank Soul Rest In Paradise Crystal Z. Franklin
