Body

Huntly died June 5, 2014, in Bronxville, N.Y. He had suffered a massive stroke in Cambridge, N.Y., his home since 1989, and was 87 years old.

Hunt came to Princeton in the summer of 1945 from Choate, where he was president of his senior class. He majored in the SPIA program, graduated with honors, and took his meals at Charter. Hunt was a member of the 600 Club and served as sports editor of The Daily Princetonian.

He then went to work for the Canadian subsidiary of Alcoa, initially in Zurich, and continued with that company in various countries over the years, retiring in the late 1980s. We have very little information directly from him, but we do know that he moved to Cambridge from England in 1989.

Huntly married Anne Aylesworth in 1950 and they had five children, Margaret, Paul, Mary, Rebecca, and Adam. His second wife, Mavis, predeceased him, but Hunt was survived by Sue Bastian, his “life partner,” according to the Berkshire Eagle; five children; and seven grandchildren. The class sends its sympathy to them all.
