I remember Fuzzy best at our annual corn roasts at Kenogami.He was one of the “guardians of the pot,” which allowed him to eat as much as he wanted. I overheard remarks like “How many has he had now, six or sixteen?” I will remember Fuzzy mostly for his cut-to-the-chase observations, his genuine friendliness, and the laughter that always seemed to surround him. My deepest sympathy goes out to Nellie, Rob and Brian and families. We have all lost “one of the good ones.” Carolyn
I worked with Fuzzy at Joy Manufacturing for a number of years. I remember him as bing a very well dressed, confident and handsome gentleman. Fuzzy always wore a smile and always had only positive things to say to you. Fuzzy lived a wonderful fulfilled life but he will be greatly missed

To Nellie, Brian, Rob and their families, It was with great sadness that we learned of Fuzzy’s passing. He will be fondly remembered as one of those KL “characters” that had character and always brought a smile to your face. Because of that, he always had many friends that wanted to be around him. Our sympathies are with your families as you go through this difficult time.
My sincere condolences to all the family at this time of your loss.I always enjoyed seeing and chatting with Fuzzy on my visits to KL and Kenogami over the years.
Our sincere condolences … always so difficult to loose a parent , no matter what age. May your memories bring you comfort. Thinking of you bro …
Dear Nellie, Brian & Rob It is with deep sadness we learned today of Fuzzy’s passing. He always brought a sense of joy when you were in his company. I will always remember his energy and willingness to be a part of our prostate cancer team. He was proud of family and rightly so(both he & Nellie) did such a fine job of raising 2 wonderful boys who have served the family name well. He could not have had a more loving and beautiful wife with whom I had the brief time of working with at KLCVI. He was a special individual who will be deeply missed by those fortunate enough to know him. Our deepest sympathy. Ralph & Shirley
Our love and thoughts are with all of you at this time. Our mother Marion Hunt grew up with “Aunt” Nellie in Kirkland Lake, so we have had Uncle Fuzzy and Aunt Nellie as part of our family since we were born. Our trips to Kirkland growing up always included a fun time with our adopted Aunt and Uncle. His smile and laughter will always have a place in our hearts. With much love – Lynn, Dawn and Victora
