Charles Seymour Hunt, a devoted husband, father, Papa, brother, uncle and friend, passed away on Friday, November 12, 2021. Charles' love of family was always first and foremost. He was a dedicated, diligent, hard worker. He started working for Walter Kingery at the age of 10 each day before attending Franklin County Schools. He graduated from Va Polytechnic Institute in May and began working the next week at MW Manufactures. Working first as a purchasing agent, and then as a plant superintendent. At night he would cut firewood and kept many families warm during the winter months. During the summer, he always had a garden that managed to get larger each year. So much so, that he started Hunt's Produce Roadside Stand, keeping many families provided with fresh produce during the summer months. After retiring, he was able to pursue his lifelong dream of being an Angus Beef farmer. Charles was in many organizations in his lifetime. He was one of the founders of the Franklin County Football Club when his son Alex played football. He also helped with the fundraising effort for the first Eagle Express Bus. While a member of the FC School Board he had a reputation for speaking his mind and not holding back the truth. He was the youngest son of eight children to the late George and Evelyn Hunt. He was preceded in death by family members, Angelia and Wesley Naff, Joyce and Charles Heath, Bonnie Ciccone, Reba and Lloyd Taylor, Edith Barnhart, George E. Hunt Jr., Peter C. Snyder, Hubert A. Ruff Jr., Marea Ruff Snyder and John Patrick Jr, Jeffrey Owen Taylor, and Jonathan E. Brown.
