Our beloved Theodore Roosevelt Hunt left this eternal world on October 26, 2016. He was called “Roo” by his loving wife of 33 years, Ethel Mae Calloway Hunt, and his family and friends.
Born on February 23, 1937, on Boxwood Farm Road in Amherst, Va., he was a son to the late Mr. & Mrs. John Randolph and Julia Tolliver Hunt. In addition to his parents, he was proceeded in death by five brothers, Velton, Melvin, Orpheus, George and William Hunt; and three sisters, Rosabell Shelton, Mattie Turner and Angus Payne.
Roosevelt was an active member of Scott Zion Baptist Church in Madison Heights, Va. until his health failed. He was very dedicated to The Male Chorus. He retired from the Lynchburg Foundry Lower Basin after thirty-four years. He was active with the foundry bowling team, and enjoyed all sports, even playing baseball in his younger days. He also loved fishing, especially deep sea fishing. Above all, Roosevelt was a devoted husband and family man.
