HUNT – Mr. Timothy 1916 – 2012 Timothy Robert John Hunt late of Big River passed away peacefully on December 14, 2012 at the age of 96 years. Timothy was born Oct 21, 1916 in England to Harriet and Robert Hunt. Timothy travelled across from England on a ship when he was 7 years old.

The family came west to Saskatoon, and then homesteaded in the Bodmin area where Timothy grew up with his 4 younger brothers. He was enlisted in the army from 1942 to 1946 serving overseas in Italy, Germany & France. After being discharged he returned to Sask. and worked as a farmer and general labourer in many different areas finishing up working for the DNR (now SERM) on the fire crew. He spent all his retirement years in the Big River area, helping Arthur with the garden, picking bottles, reading and living a very quiet life. At the age of 95, Timothy moved into the Lakewood Lodge after falling and breaking his hip. Timothy will be lovingly remembered by his brother George Hunt, his nieces, nephews and other relatives.
