<div itemprop="description">It is with sadness and grief that we announce the passing of Robert Hunter, husband to Connie Hunter of La Ronge, SK; father to Angela (Jim) Davison of Harmony, PEI, Crystal (Raymond Gallant) Hunter of Summerside, PEI, Jennifer (Leon) Grundner, Ben Hunter, Chrysie Hunter all of Prince Albert, SK; grandfather to Collin (Stacey), Chelsea and Cameron Davison, Dylan and Alyssa Mugridge, Jayme Gallant, Gavin and Chase Grundner; great-grandfather to Myles and Hunter Davison; brother to Charmaine McInnis of New Minas, NS and Susan Snow of Garlands Crossing, NS; brother-in-law to Nancy Hunter of Elmsdale, NS and Roger Kobitzsch of Moose Jaw, SK; and step-brother to Bob (Patty) Hunter of Fort Wayne, IN; and an extended family of aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, and their families; and his four legged companion Patch. Rob was predeceased by his parents Claude and Doris (Buck) Hunter, step-father Fred Hunter; parents-in-law Robert Kobitzsch and Annyst Koshman; his brothers Thomas Hunter (in infancy) and Jim Hunter; brothers-in-law John McInnis and Bill Snow; and many other extended family members. Rob was born in Redhill, Surrey, England in 1947. His father re-enlisted in the Canadian Army and brought his family to Canada in 1954. In 1958 they were posted to Werl, West Germany, and returned to Canada in 1961 settling in PEI. Rob was drawn to a life long career in law enforcement and criminal justice. He began as a police officer in Borden, PEI, then moved to Truro, NS, and later continued on to earn a Bachelor of Human Justice, spending the majority of his career with the Ministry of Justice, Corrections and Public Safety in La Ronge, SK. During his life he also spent time long distance trucking, in housing construction, and in computer sales and service. He was a man of many talents and interests which evolved over his lifetime. In his early years in PEI he played in a local music band, was President of the Borden Kinsmen Club, and was involved in the Borden United Church. He loved to sing and play guitar, and build model trains. During his years in La Ronge, SK he held different positions within his community. He was a volunteer fireman, town Alderman, board member/President for Cable Ronge, and President of the Senior's Club. In those years, he added woodworking to his hobbies. He spent hours creating bird feeders and windmills. He also took pleasure in camping, boating and long hours sitting by the fire with a good stiff drink. He was capable of so much when he set his mind to it. He was a quiet man, a deep thinker, and an excellent judge of character. On December 15, 2016, in La Ronge, SK, his journey with us ended. He is deeply missed by his family and friends, those who knew him and understood him and loved him. A private service was held followed by cremation in Prince Albert, SK on December 17, 2016. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Canadian Cancer Association, or to a charity of your choice.
