Huston Stanley Hunting ’49

Hust died Sept. 26, 1995, in Rochester, N.Y., after a prolonged battle with a rare form of leukemia.

He prepared at Allendale School and Andover. At Princeton he majored in history and was a member of Cap and Gown Club, the Triangle Club, and the undergraduate board of deacons. He was in the Army from July 1946-Dec. 1947, felt strongly about being a "citizen soldier," and remained in the Army Reserve for 30 years, retiring with the rank of colonel.

Hust learned all aspects of the family-owned business, The Hunting Co., wholesalers of plumbing, heating, and industrial supplies, and in time became its president. He sold the business in 1986. He was dedicated to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, enjoyed several sports, was an officer of the Princeton Club of Rochester, and served on the schools committee.

Hust will be remembered for this indomitable good humor, loyalty to family and friends, and positive approach to life. He was predeceased by his son, Tom, who died of AIDS in Nov. 1993 at age 34. Besides Gwynie, his loving wife of 43 years, he is survived by his daughter, Laura Barker, his brother, Stanley '58, and his sister, Tilda. Laura's description of her father says it simply and best, "He was a true gentleman." We extend to them all our heartfelt sympathies.
