Our sincere heartfelt condolences to Shannon, Abigail & Parker. The Hunter family had the rare opportunity and the privilege to share Dave’s legacy of “Work Hard and Play Hard” firsthand with him. Thanks to a mutual friend, Don McIvor, Dave & I met at Don’s annual golf tournament in Whitefish in the early 1980’s. Dave had a huge heart and was very generous to his friends.
Three generations of The Home Hunters had the distinct pleasure of working with Dave. We sold Dave my brother-in-law’s acreage in 1986 which was soon to be known as the “Engeland Ramada”. He treated my Dad Bill, my son Steve and me with respect and that respect was mutual. Over the past 45 years, we helped Dave buy, sell and trade over 30 properties of all types (even a movie theatre), from Calgary to Arizona. Dave was a no nonsense, do it my way type of businessman, but he was a man of his word, honest and respectful.
We also shared a genuine love of our families. In hundreds of our conversations over the years, Dave and I always included sharing stories about our families. One of the last conversations I had with Dave was just a couple of months ago. He was getting his real estate affairs in order. He said out of the blue “our days are numbered Grant” and we both agreed that we have had a great run together, working hard and playing hard! I will truly miss Dave and will be forever thankful for our lifelong friendship!!
Sincerely, Grant Hunter and The Hunter Family
