[patyrn]

J. T. Hunn, age 86, of Longton, Kansas, passed away July 14, 2019 at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas.  He was born July 13, 1933 in Denison, Texas to James and Iva (Hodges) Hunn.

J. T. was raised in the Denison, Texas area alongside his sister, Mary.  After high school, he joined the United States Air Force, proudly serving his country for four years.  He then went to work in Civil Service as an Electrical Foreman at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas.

On April 3, 1955, J. T. married Loretta Ruckle in Wichita, Kansas.  They made their home in Augusta, Kansas, raising their children, Raymond, Randy, and Laura.  They were married 44 years until her passing in 1999.  J. T. and Loretta loved to take trips with their children and grandchildren to Texas to see the grandparents. 

J. T. was a loving and caring man.  Sometimes his shell was a little hard, but underneath was a great soft heart.  He loved to tell stories to everyone, and he was an avid hunter and fisherman.  On the last fishing trip he was able to take, he went with his sons to Beaver Lake.  He was proud of the fact that he caught the largest Bass and largest Striper of the entire trip.

J. T. is survived by his sons, Raymond Hunn of Augusta, Kansas and Randy Hunn of Douglass, Kansas; his daughter, Laura Dooley of Haysville, Kansas; his grandson, James; his great-grandson, Dalton; his sister, Mary Pitcock of Orlando, Florida; his nephew, Ben Hunn of Great Falls, Montana; his niece, Jolinda Connel of Orlando, Florida; and his beloved dog, Bubba.

Cremation has been requested.  The family will hold a private graveside service at a later date.  Memorials in J. T.'s name may be made to the American Cancer Society and may be mailed to or left with the funeral home.  Countryside Funeral Home, 206 E. Washington, Howard, Kansas 67349 has been entrusted with arrangements.
