Leslie "Billy" Grant Hunter
Leslie "Billy" Grant Hunter passed away Oct. 1, 2014, at home with family by his side.
Billy was born July 11, 1937 in Rupert, W.V., to Samuel W. and Bessie J. (Blake) Hunter.
Billy and Sara were married for 57 years.
Billy made a career in the U.S. Air Force. This allowed for him and his family to travel and to live in interesting locations such as Yokota, Japan. Once Billy retired from the Air Force, he and Sara chose to settle in North Bend. The rivers, the Pacific Ocean, and the forests of Coos County provided the opportunities needed to fulfill his passion for both hunting and fishing.
Billy retired a second time from the U.S. Postal Service stationed in Reedsport. In retirement, Billy was generous with his time and shared his knowledge and skills. He volunteered in assisting veterans with a variety of needs. He also helped countless others learn to successfully hunt and fish. His love of the outdoors and the generosity he showed by sharing this love with others will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Billy is survived by his daughter, Beverly and son-in-law, Steve Gillaspie of Barrow, Alaska; and granddaughters, Ashlee, Emilee and Abby all of Seattle, Wash.
Billy was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel W. and Bessie J. Blake Hunter; his wife, Sara C. Hunter; and daughter, Leslie A. Hunter.
Billy will be laid to rest beside his wife, Sara Catherine and daughter, Leslie Annette at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay.
Arrangements are under the direction of Myrtle Grove Funeral Service, 541-269-2851.
