Dennis M. Hunt 1940-2025

He was born Oct. 24, 1940, in Warren, to Leonard and Annetta McCorkle Hunt.

Denny was a graduate of Howland High School in Warren. He retired as an assembler, inspector and maintenance worker from General Motors Lordstown. Before that, he worked for Copperweld Steel, also in Warren. Periodically, he would work at his father-in-law’s and wife’s family-owned hardware store, Hamilton & Meigs Inc.

Denny was an experienced amateur HAM radio operator, receiving his advanced license in 1977; he was fluent in Morse code and enjoyed connecting with fellow HAM operators across the world.

Denny was quite handy. He loved building and repairing things. He had a natural ability to troubleshoot, take small engines and mechanical devices apart, then repair and clean parts and reassemble them.

He was an excellent swimmer. He loved being near water and being outdoors. In his younger years, he loved going on Boy Scout adventures and taking his boat out on Mosquito Lake.

Denny loved camping with his family and enjoyed every type of camping from basic tent to travel trailer. He loved to sit by a campfire and visit with fellow campers he met on their many family excursions. He and Jean host-camped at Maumee Bay State Park for eight years, which was a great way for them to meet and help campers, plus spend time with their daughter, Jill, and granddaughters, Sam and Emily.

Denny was an avid Cleveland sports fan, rarely missing the Indians, Browns and Cavaliers games on television.

Denny was known to many for making his Grandma Hunt’s pancake recipe, just how she did when he was growing up, always topped with local Amish maple syrup. A devoted husband, proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he will be dearly missed by family and friends.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 63 years and high school sweetheart, Jean Thomas Hunt, whom he married Sept. 23, 1961; his loving daughter, Jill (Paul) Hunt; granddaughters, Sam (Cristian) and Emily Gonia; and great-granddaughter, Isabelle “Izzy” Roughton; son, Phil (Chris) Hunt, and grandson, Bryan; son, Jeff (Debbie) Hunt and granddaughters, Ellie, Laurie and Sarah Hunt; and his dear brother, Rick Hunt.

A graveside committal service will be held 1 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17, 2025, in Pineview Memorial Park, 4049 Youngstown Road SE, Warren, OH 44484, with Rev. Erica Brown officiating.

The family will greet friends and family 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025, at Howland Community Church, 198 Niles Cortland Road SE, Warren, OH 44484, 330-856-3628.
