Henry Clay Hunt Jr. ’48

Body

Hank Hunt died Dec. 24, 2007.

He was forever involved in the well- being of the class — very active with Annual Giving as well as our Movers and Shakers (aka executive committee) and a great number of Reunions committees. At Princeton he was in Cannon and graduated with highest honors in mechanical engineering.

Hank’s business career was with Mobil Oil and its predecessor companies for 30 years. His professional life mandated that he and his family live in England, Italy, Japan, and Australia at various times.

Hank was a longtime member of Stanton (N.J.) Reformed Church. He was an avid fly fisherman and member of the Amwell Valley Conservancy. He also enjoyed history as well as cooking, and was a lover of fine foods.

Hank and Becky, his wife of 59 years, kept a house in Stanton for 50 years. In addition to Becky, he is survived by two sons, Henry and Douglas, and six grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
