Dear Grandad,
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you so much for the profound sacrifices you made as a Navy veteran, as a dedicated husband, father, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and most especially my beloved Grandad. Today we remember you, Uncle Kenny, all of your shipmates who were lost in the line of duty or afterwards, and for the many families across this land and other lands remembering the loss of a loved one to conflict or war. We honor all of those currently making the ultimate sacrifice and for their families. I know you lost many buddies when you were overseas or on board, and I hope you’ve been reunited with them and your brothers, parents, wife and other family members and friends in Heaven. Not a day goes by when thoughts of you don’t cross my mind and I thank you for the patriotism you instilled in me. I hope there comes a time when there is no more conflict or war - just peace. Rest and be assured that your family misses you and loves you and thinks of you often. Love always Jessica PS: We are all doing well

Missing you as we welcome Francesca Allegra Marin Hunt to our family. I know you would be so proud of Adam and happy for both he and his wife Louisa. Love you and miss you, Jessica

Dear Grandad,
I miss you so much. How are things with Uncle Kenny and your other brothers in Heaven? Do you get to see your mom and Dad very often? Aunt Janet was here for Christmas and she and Cousin Debbie, Guy and Alyssa all miss you very much. Cousin Debbie and Aunt Janet were very kind to me this Christmas. I never really knew them well before and it has been nice to connect. Aunt Diane and Uncle Ron have been in PA closer to David. She is very busy with the grandchildren so I do not have a chance to talk to her often. I have some very exciting news for you, however, and I hope my brother doesn’t mind if I share. I really wish you were here to welcome the newest member of the family this coming April. I am going to be an Auntie! I didn’t want to be an ant or an aunt so I chose Auntie. My brother and his wife seem ok with that. So your legacy will live on soon, as another Hunt, a little girl, will arrive if all goes according to plan, in April. I love you and miss you every day. Love, Jessica

Dear Grandad,
I once asked you how you would like us to spell your name, with 2 'd'a or just 1 d. You told me you preferred just one 'd' in Grandad, so that's how I've spelled your name ever since.
I will never forget family gatherings at the lake in the summer; the black River Rat inner tube; when I lost one of my barbies while swimming in the muck;,sleepovers with baths in the lavender tube, sleeping in Diane's canapy bed, and you brining us donuts in the morning.
I will always share your sweet tooth, especially when it comes to ice cream, pizza double cut, and birch beer, preferably on tap.
I will never forget you hollering from the dining room table to Nana, "Elsie, bring me the ketchup!" I share your love of ketchup, and black pepper too.
I will never forget how you woke up each morning with a smile and sometimes a whistle, even when you were in great physical pain. I will never forget sitting in the back red bench seats of your car as you drove extremely slowly down the road , with Frank Sinatra playing, without a care in the world . The other drivers could wait. They didn't need to be in such a rush.
I will forever cherish getting to know you as an adult, not just as my grandfather , but as a person . A person who, when it felt like no one understood what I was going through, somehow did, and someone who opened his door and his heart without hesitation. I will forever cherish our morning conversations over instant coffee and Quaker Oats. I will never forget that you always checked to make sure the burners on the stove were turned off before heading to bed for the night. I will never forget the wisdom and guidance that you afforded me. I will never forget that unlike most people , you always answered the phone when I called you, even if you were at the A&P or in a mad dash to get to yet another doctor's appointment. I will never forget how you told me "you take one oar Jessica, and I'll take the other," as we battled physical illness. I will never forget the message on your voice mail, or the old phone number at 51 North Shore Road. I still have it memorized. I will never forget when you told me that you wanted to go to sleep and never wake up, and how strong I had to be in that moment. This strength, this resilience , I inherited from you is a gift, and the only thing that is keeping me going.
I will never forget when I took you to Trader Joe's and introduced you to their little bags of almonds "to go." I told you to keep a bag in your shirt pocket, so if you got hungry on the go, you'd have something healthy to nibble on.
I will never forget how much you cared for Nana after she left the assisted living facility. I will never forget when you told me that Uncle Kenny had died, and I knew how sad you were. I will never forget the Peppridge Farm frozen layer cakes in the freezer, holiday Kraft macaroni and cheese dinners with my brother, Steve and Dave. I'll never forget playing behind the bar - a perfect hideout, equipped with a refrigerator that sometimes had soda in it. I will never forget all of us cousins going crazy with powdered iced tea mix - talk about a sugar high! I will never forget how grateful I was when you chose to have your bypass surgery in Morristown, and I remember how well you looked and felt when I went to visit you at the hospital.
I will never forget your love and knowledge of film, music, photography, birds - and most all animals. I will never forget when you told me the story of when you decided to spend the entire day sunbathing on the navy vessel with your buddies, only to find your down under in the infirmary in an ice bucket. The doctor told "Ed, you've got bright red hair and freckles, what the heck were you thinking?" You told me that that doctor's words would resonate in your mind for the remainder of your life.
I'll never forget the time I had my birthday party at the lake. All my friends came, and we had a blast. I think my metabolism was so fast then that I could honestly eat a whole pizza myself.
I will never forget calling you on Veterans Day. Your spirits were high and you were at the A&P joking with the person at the deli counter.
I will never, ever forget your unconditional love and unwavering support. I will never forget your strength, courage and generosity. I will never forget how patient you were in listening to me when I was upset. I will never forget our last visit together, I was so happy to see you I collapsed onto you while you were sound asleep - needless to say - I woke you up. That was a precious hour, and a precious day.
I will never forget how I share your preference of "old school" technology (though admittedly I would not be able to write this were it not for my smart phone or the funeral home staff). Pick-up the phone and call - an approach we both embraced. I will never forget clipping coupons for you to use - just like Nana taught me to do - and sending them to you by post.
I am sorry to know how you suffered in the end, but I'm very comforted to know that my parents, Aunt Diane, Steven and Aimee were there with you in the end.
I know you are looking down now, looking down at me, and Aunt Janet, knowing how much we wanted to attend your service but were physically unable to travel.
I know how much comfort Aunt Janet , Debbie, Guy and Alyssa provided you with, and I thank them for that.
I also know how delighted you were to have Steven and Aimee nearby, David and Adam not far away, how filled with joy you were with news of weddings and eventually to the birth of your great-grandchildren.
I have always been incredibly proud of the commitment you made to our country when you enlisted in the Navy, and every chance I got I would tell people about you and your service.
Thank you for listening to me, for loving me, for comforting me, and for all the wisdom and guidance you imparted. "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face Jessica," you told me.
I will miss not being able to pick up the phone to call you, or receIcing calls and messages from you. I will miss not being able to see you again, to hear more stories, to better understand with each conversation the story of your life.
You are truly the wind beneath my wings.

Death is not the opposite of life, it is part of it..... Quote by- Haruki Murakami
Uncle Eddy was a very fortunate man, he led a long full life. He was from a generation that was strong and resilient. He got to live his last years in his house, in his own way, just as he wanted. We have always enjoyed his company, knowledge and great conversations: photography, cameras, wildlife, music, LP’s, gardening, travel – local drives and further destinations.
Visiting with Aunt Elsie and Uncle Eddy, and later just Eddy, was part of our family tradition. They were fun to be with, welcoming, loving and always appreciative of our visits. Our phone calls and visits have always continued and we will feel cheated to be missing them and that lovely lake spot.
Thank you Uncle Eddy for the wonderful memories.
Love, Kathy and George

To the Hunt Family, I was so upset seeing that your Father had passed, but know that he is with the love of his life again and happy. I met them both at St. Clare's when they were volunteering, and we became fast friends. After I retired we would always seem to meet up at the A&P, and only about a month or two ago at the diner. He was quite a man, who I developed a soft spot in my heart for. When the good Lord made Ed he thru away the mold, he reminded me so much of my Dad. I will always hold him close in my heart. May the good Lord hold you close at this sad time. God Bless all of you.
