They were married for 51 years. He will also be lovingly remembered by his sons Timothy Hunter (Estela) and Paul Hunter (Ayana), his four grandsons Oliver, Sebastian, Max, and Kota Curtis, his extended Westside Church Family, and the Guatemalan communities of Las Escobas where Bob made many mission trips during the 1990’s and early 2000’s. Bob was predeceased by his parents William Robert Hunter and Doris Louisa Hunter.
