Mr Hunter was a great man . Quiet but always on time. For years he did my lawn and crossed my daughter over roads as crossing guard. He will truly be missed by his family but also by his customers and friends. They don't make men like him much anymore. Thank you for sharing him with us. God Bless The Spencer Cooper Family
