Fran was born on Dec. 11, 1921, in Ingham, to William and Bertha (Jackson) Hunt. He was the fourth of seven children. He grew up and graduated from high school in North Platte. He served his county as a pilot in the United States Navy during World War II. After the war, Fran took advantage of the G.I. Bill and went to college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he earned his degree in Business Administration. While there, he met his future wife who was also a business major. Fran married Betty Jo Danner on July 17, 1947, and to this union three daughters were born, Mary Lee, Ann and Judy. They raised their family in Cozad. Fran attended the National Institute of Dry Cleaning in Silver Springs, Maryland. He and Jo then opened Hunt Cleaners in 1951. The business started as a retail dry-cleaner and later grew to include industrial cleaning. Fran loved being a dry-cleaner and he was famous for his ability to remove a spot from any fabric. While in Cozad, Fran volunteered with many community organizations including the Cozad Chamber of Commerce board, the Cozad School board, Rotary and many committees at First United Methodist Church. Fran and Jo were members of First United Methodist Church in Cozad. He was also a member of the Nebraska Dry Cleaners and Laundry Association. After more than 30 years in the dry cleaning industry, Fran and Jo retired, selling the business to their daughter, Judy and her husband Bruce. Following retirement, Fran and Jo moved to Kearney. During their time there, Fran and Jo were active members of Kearney First United Methodist Church. Fran loved playing golf and meeting friends for coffee. Fran and Jo enjoyed living in Kearney for 21 years. Following Jo’s death in 2010, Fran moved back to Cozad where he made Meadowlark Pointe his home. Fran’s biggest love was his family. He was famous for taking family pictures every time any of the family was gathered together. He always needed to take “just one more” to finish up a roll of film.
