It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Leon Hunt on 13th December 2018. Leon was a much loved and respected man, and devoted husband of Revd Vera Hunt.
Leon was a gentle man, with a ready smile and a great sense of humour. He always worked quietly in the background, almost unnoticed. He was totally reliable and was always happy to help anyone at any time. It would be almost impossible to count the number of people Leon has given lifts to in his car, allowing them to attend various functions.
Leon will always be remembered for his devotion to Vera, his faithfulness in serving God, his reliability, his constant service to the Deaf community and his lovely smile. He will be sorely missed.
Our love and sympathies go to Vera and her family, may they know the love and comfort of God through this sad time.
The funeral will be held at Easthampstead Park Crematorium at 11.15 am on Friday 18th January 2019.
