Sunday Hartford lost a great man, those of us who knew him lost a wonderful friend. John Hunt died on Sunday. John had volunteered at Sanchez elementary school for over 15 years, initially planning to do tutoring one afternoon a week, but ending up so in love with teaching that he was tutoring in the classroom four days a week, mentoring children, providing eye glasses for those who needed them, and promised three dozen students that he would pay for their college education. He has followed these kids through the years as a friend and mentor.

A front page article appeared in today's Hartford Courant and you will find links there to a previous story on John. His obituary also appeared in the paper today.
