John Hunt Died Monday

John Hunt, a 15-year member and one of the founders of the Twin Cities myeloma support group, died Monday, June 25, of sudden heart problems which were likely due to amyloid deposits from his myeloma.

John was known for his brilliance, kindness, and sense of humor.  With his knowledge of biology, he had much advice and wisdom to offer.  We were honored to call him a friend. Our thoughts are with his wonderful family who opened their lovely home to us in the group's early days.

His service will be at:

St. Frances Cabrini Church
1500 Franklin Ave. S.E., Minneapolis, MN
Saturday, July 7, at 11 a.m., with visitation for an hour prior to the service.

We miss you already John.

Myeloma claims another one.  Mark and his wife Carol have been regulars at myeloma support group meetings in Minnesota.  Recently he ran out of treatment options, and entered hospice.  You can pass your condolences to Carol on Mark's Caring Bridge site.
