Steel Corporation retiree, and was presently employed with Don King Productions, Inc. and foreman of the training camp in Orwell for over 30 years.  Bobby ministered to boxers from around the world, some who had never been to church, and he would take them to church. He was more than just a foreman and overseer, he was a “gift”.

He was a member of Pleasant Valley Church and it’s Men’s Ministry.  Bobby loved reading the Bible, music, watching western movies and boxing.  Bobby was easy going with a humorous personality, and a humble spirit.

He leaves to forever cherish his memories, his son, Robert Bryan Hunt; a sister, Alicia and her husband, James Backus; two brothers, Larry Hunt, Jimmy and his wife, Burma Hunt all of Youngstown; two grandchildren, Antwan J. Hunt  and Christian Hattendorf; a great grandson, Joel Hunt; and a host of family and friends.
