He retired as owner and operator of Hunter Construction. He was a man of great character and a strong work ethic. L.A. was a man of his word. He was known as being a true gentleman with great faith. He worked daily to improve upon himself. His joking spirit and laughter will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.
