Obituary of Arthur N. Hunt

Arthur Nathaniel Hunt came into this world on December 7, 1931 and went to be with his Lord on November 5, 2016. He was born on the island of Jamaica, WI and was one of three children of Charles Hunte and Estora (Aunt Essie) Hunte. There he obtained his early education through high school and started his apprenticeship and obtained his plumbing license. Arthur migrated to the United Kingdom in his early twenties where he was quickly joined by his sweetheart Joyce. They were married on February 9, 1963. After arriving in England, Arthur continued his education and became certified in wielding and pipe fitting. He worked at this craft for about nine years before migrating to the United States to join his wife and start a new and memorable life. When Arthur arrived in the US, Joyce had already done some networking and had a job interview set up for him. Two weeks after his arrival, Arthur started working in the plumbing industry for Fred Hummel Plumbing & Heating on Arlington Avenue in Plainfield. His vast knowledge amazed his employer. However, Arthur eventually walked off that job because he could not tolerate the low quality and standards of work. As Arthur became known as an excellent plumber, he was called repeatedly to do jobs or just to help someone out. What naturally followed was the startup of Arthur Hunt Plumbing & Heating, Inc.
