HEBRON – Howard J. Lunt went into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior November 17, 2016.
He leaves his wife of 60 years Ann (Riker) Lunt; his sons, James Lunt of Columbia and Richard Lunt and his wife Susan of Columbia; his daughters, Linda Caswell and her husband Paul of Andover, Lois Roy and her husband Kevin of Hebron and Rebecca Hayden of Hebron; former daughter-in-law Sharon McCavanaugh; brother, Paul Lunt from Norwich; 11 grandchildren, Kayla Lunt, Jonathan and Sarah Caswell, Heather and Craig Collin, Richard Lunt II, Alfred Lunt, Rochelle Roy, Kyle Roy, Jessica and Brian Vance, Andrew Hayden, Holly Hayden and James Hayden; two great grandchildren, Alexia Caswell and Charlotte Vance; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Lois and Burton Lunt; his brothers, Claude, Orlin, Francis and Gordon.
In his early years, you could find Howard on any one of a number of fields doing what he loved most – playing sports. His true love was baseball. He made first draft pick for the Boston Red Sox and then was drafted to war. So it goes without saying he was a true Boston Red Sox fan.
Howard was a true humanitarian in his town.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff of the ICU unit at Manchester Memorial Hospital on behalf of Howard for the gentle, compassionate, kind care they showed him and his family.
