In remembrance of James Raymond Hunt III, “JR”, it is with heavy hearts that we announce his passing, a devoted father, husband, and pillar of strength for his family and friends.
Raymond (JR), was born October 11, 1955 to James R Hunt II and Dolores S Hunt(Smick) of Quinton, NJ. Raymond graduated Woodstown High School in 1973 and went to work ever since.
Raymond was a devoted father whose unwavering dedication to his family defined his life. A passionate workaholic who worked at the refinery in Paulsboro NJ for 45 years, as well as driving for his son Brad, the Farmers Exchange and endless jobs for his farming friends. He toiled tirelessly to provide his loved ones with a life filled with love and abundance. His heart belonged to the fields where his love for farming blossomed into a source of pride for him. If he wasn’t farming his own land or milking cows, he would always be helping someone else. James leaves behind a legacy of hard work, sacrifice, and the cherished memories of a family blessed by his boundless love. May his commitment to family and the land inspire generations to come.
A true “Hunt” he loved to party and always wanted to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. People gravitated to his generous and kind nature.
