Richard " Dick" Hunter the "Dictator" #706 Passed Away
It is with much sadness and heavy heart that I announce the passing of my father Richard "Dick" Hunter #706
Dad Raced APBA in the early to mid 70's He ran FJ & UJ Classes. He was US#2 in 1972, US#1 in 1973,1974, and 1975
he was also the holder of 2 world records. FJ class one hour marathon in Key West, Fl. and UJ Class sprint race record was set in Lakeland, Fl.
We as a family along with Dad has so many great friends in the racing community. It has been a long time and unfortunately have lost touch with most of them. I really hope this awesome site might help to get the word out to some old friends.
Dad passed away on 4-1-2018 Easter Sunday. There will be a memorial service on Saturday 4-14-2018 at 10:am in Melbourne Fl. at
Brownlie-Maxwell Funeral Home
1010 Palmetto Avenue
Melbourne, FL
We as a family, his children Clay, Christy, and Eilene would like to extend our invitation to any of his racing friends and families that would like to attend. Also any comments here on the site would be welcomed.
The full obituary can be seen here : https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/fl...?pid=188668509
God Speed Dad
Your Loving Son

Clay, Christy and Eilene,

Chick, Thank You ! So good to hear from you ! That trip out west is a memory I will never forget either. What a race that was. I sure hope to hear from more of the old gang here. I believe Hommer is coming this sat. to the service. Sad, after looking on this site to find out Jan is gone, and Mal. I had a great trip in the Everglades with Mal & Gary that I will never forget !! I also still wish I knew the real story about Gary. He was always good to me as a kid.

Sorry for your loss. Dick was a great guy and a terrific race driver. Seems to me I recall something about Dick and a pelican in the Hydrostream at Pelican Harbor.

Clay,
I did visit your Father a few years ago. My Son lives in your town so I took a side trip to see him. Meg and I were there for Easter this past weekend and I thought about him as always.

Thanks for you kind thoughts. I do also remember the pelican "incident" it was quite a mess. He laughed it off and moved on, but I think we all laughed about that for some time, as He did too.
Sure wish I knew who this is, name please ? Its just been great hearing from friends here
