Peacefully on Sunday, January 22, 2023 at Strathcona Long Term Care, Mount Forest in his 82nd year. With love, pride and great respect, his five children, Jason, Lesleigh, Lyndsey, Jocelyn and Mandy, his 13 Grandchildren, 3 Great Grandchildren and his wife of 55 years, Jane say “may you have fair winds and a following sea” to a wonderful father and Husband. While he had many passions, sailing being chief among them, Stuart devoted his life to helping others; through 38 years of fostering children, teaching at the University of Guelph, preaching, community work, 27 years of volunteer driving and just being plain Dad. His love for others and belief that he could make a difference were always placed above his own needs. The love and caring that he showed to all of us, we return to him now in the hope that it will allow him to go peacefully forward. While Stuart is pre-deceased by his sister Anne, brother in-law Stephen and his sister in-law Linda, he is remembered by the seven brothers he did not know that he had until later in life. With the greatest of joy and excitement he discovered his seven brothers in Western Canada at the age of 64. Paul, Patrick, Steven, Mark, Chris, Danny and Shane along with their families have been a blessed addition to his life. With greatest love, we say rest now Dad, you deserve it. At Stuart’s request, cremation has taken place. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Dr. Hunter are asked to consider the Covenant House, Toronto. Arrangements entrusted to the England Funeral Home, Mount Forest.
