John J. Hunt ’57

Jack died July 29, 2013, from complications following surgery.

While at Princeton, he majored in engineering, played football, lacrosse and wrestling, and joined Ivy Club. After graduation, Jack joined the Marines and married Sue Wilkes.

After teaching at the Lawrenceville School, Jack moved his family to Cambridge, Mass., in 1965, where he earned a doctorate in education from Harvard. His career in education included positions as superintendent of schools in Hightstown, N.J., Paradise Valley, Ariz., and Jefferson County, Ala.

His great passion was single-handed ocean sailing. Twice he sailed in the OSTAR race from Plymouth, England, to Newport, R.I. He also loved writing.

Jack later taught at the university level at the University of South Florida in Tampa and Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. He retired in 2004.

The class extends its condolences to Sue, Jack’s wife of 54 years; his daughter, Patty; and son Tim. He was a most interesting classmate.
