Read More	Senior Master Sergeant (Ret) Ralph Hardin Hunt, 95, passed away, January 11, 2016. He was a longtime member of Mauldin First Baptist Church. Ralph was born on June 24, 1920, in Golden Valley, NC, one of 13 children of John Martin and Eliza Jane Odom Hunt. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the beginning of World War II. His wartime service began as a mule handler in China and culminated as a decorated flight engineer for the legendary Claire Chennault’s “Flying Tigers”. Following the war, Ralph remained in the newly-created United States Air Force, serving senior flight engineer assignments on the C-124, then the world’s largest military cargo aircraft. Duty stations included Alaska and South Carolina, which ultimately became his lifetime home. He retired in 1963. Ralph’s second career was as a diesel mechanics instructor at Greenville Tech where he displayed his famous ability to fix just about anything to many aspiring repair technicians. He retired from teaching in 1982. Ralph was preceded in death by his loving wife of 47 years, Kathryn Hague Hunt, and beloved grandson, Adam Smith. Survivors include four children, Debra Stephenson and husband Rev. Jim Stephenson of Greenville, Rebecca Wilkie and husband Jim of Atlanta, Lori Smith of Rock Hill, and Jeff Hunt and wife Melanie of Simpsonville; thirteen grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren. Ralph was a man of few words but, when he spoke, it was typically a wise and keen observation on the nature of things. He loved the Lord and sheltered all manner of stray, animal and human, under his roof without judgement or complaint. Ralph was the rock that gracefully anchored his family with love, generosity and kindness. He will be missed. From Hamlet: “He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.” Burial will be in Greenville Memorial Gardens.
