I was so shocked to hear of Shane's sudden passing. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Maureen and family during this sad time. Shane was such a warm and genuine person. He and Maureen made me feel like part of the family—I’ll never forget the time they invited me over for a wonderful meal in their beautiful home. You could see how much love and laughter filled their home, and how deeply connected they were. Shane had an infectious laugh and energy that touched everyone around him. He’ll will be missed. ❤️🙏

Our deepest Comdolences Maureenand family. We know he will be deeply missed. !❤️

Our deepest condolences to Maureen and family. We will miss Shane’s sense of humour and easy laugh. His interest in world events always made for engaging conversations around the dinner table. Our lives have been enriched by having known Shane.

Shane lived life, large and full. With a deep, easy laugh and wit. He was clearly devoted to Maureen and family. He was generous in sharing his knowledge and experience when my son was considering a career in the railway. I an grateful to have shared some special occasions with Maureen, Shane and mutual friends. It was beautiful to watch the synchronicity of Maureen and Shane together. They shared their wisdom, wit, laughter, fun, warmth and love with those around them. Rest easy Shane. My thoughts are with Maureen and family. Love Joan

Such a bright light and a wonderful human. I love that you made Mo so happy and looked out for me when I lived in Clark Drive. You were so loving and caring when I visited with my kiddo and you'll always be remembered as 'grampa Shane'. The best holiday we ever had was with you, Mo, Todd, Korrine, Laura and Jenna. Thank you for being such a kind man.

We will miss you grandpa.  

Fun memories of golfing with you.

I was only in high school one year with Shane, but he became a friend, and remained a friend. We did keep in touch from time to time. God speed, Shane.

Love you Papa

I feel incredible sadness on learning of Bill's (Shane) passing.
I first met Bill (Shane) in the mid nineties when we were both married to other people. As couples and neighbors, we enjoyed a cruise through the Panama together and played cards on many nights. Always laughter and good times. Both of us moved on to other lives, but every once in a while connected through a text on Birthdays etc. He was a good friend and a very wonderful and caring man. My heart goes out to you Maureen and the entire Hunter family. Sincere condolences.

I met "Mr. Hunter" when he relieved my father, Jack MacLise, CN Station Agent in Erickson, Mb., for vacation in the late 60's. As a young kid, he made a big impression on me. What a great career he had and made a similar impact with countless others over his life. My condolences to the Hunter family.

I feel like I lost an integral part of myself with you being gone. I will miss you so much brother.

WOW what a ride you had Bill! I was very fortunate to be included on a few of the . When I think of Ottawa, Montreal and the Maritimes I will remember you ❤️

I will miss our passionate political talks at the dinner table. Sharing your wisdom on history. Playing many games especially Rummikub. The fun times at the lake, happy hours and the great suppers you and Momo would make.

Todd and you will be sipping on a rusty nails above. Cheers.

We were so sad to learn of Shane's passing. We always enjoyed seeing Shane in our community or at the gym and were most appreciative of his leadership and hard work on behalf of Avery Villas. With sincere sympathy to you, Maureen, and all your family at this difficult time time.

Maureen,

Sending you and your family our condolences, thoughts and prayers.

So many memories flooded in as we read his beautiful life story. John respected Bill and said he was the best chief dispatcher he ever worked with!

We had good journeys and fun times both in Canada and the US and will always treasure those times. You will be in our hearts and prayers as you travel the grief journey. May you be comforted knowing he lived a live worth living and leaves a beautiful story and legacy full of unlimited memories.

With Warm Regards,

John and Monica

Sending our condolences to each and all of the Hunter families.

I have many cherished memories of my dear brother- ranging from playing ball all summer to sliding down Pilot's Hill all winter to sharing earlier times with our kids and becoming immersed in our careers. Two memories stand out ..

Bill( Shane) arriving from Edmonton to Rivers Hospital where our Mom was in palliative care. I had been there for several days.. tired, worried, overwhelmed, when suddenly I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder... it was Bill and he was there for me!

The other was a happier one, when Brian and I visited Bill ( Shane) and Maureen in Ottawa! They were always such wonderful hosts and we were treated like royalty! Such fun! Thank you for all

those memories, dear brother!

May you Rest In Peace!

I have many cherished memories of my dear brother, ranging from our childhood years in Rivers, where we played ball all summer and slid down Pilot's Hill all winter to sharing times with our kids and becoming immersed in our careers.

Two memories stand out however:

Bill ( Shane) arriving from Edmonton to Rivers Hospital, where our Mom was in palliative care. I had been there with her for several days...tired, worried, overwhelmed, when I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder...it was Bill and he was there for me!

Another happier memory was in Ottawa where Brian and I visited Maureen and Bill( Shane) . They were always consummate hosts, but we were treated like a king and queen! Such fun, so many laughs! Thank you for those memories, dear brother! May you Rest In Peace!

Bill and I started school together and we remained friends until his passing. He always kept in touch even though he moved many times. Have many memories and stories to recall, some amusing which makes me smile. My condolences to the Hunter family. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Maureen & family,

We were so sorry to hear of Shane's passing. You were the best neighbours to have and we very much enjoyed our times together.

Many memories of high school years with Bill and his lime green Ford. Turn the corner and keep going!

Bill was one of my first bosses after I joined CN. He gave me my first chance to work in management. Bill and my father attended the same course in Gimli in 1974 to become train dispatchers. This started a life long friendship between the two. Unfortunately, I lost my father on June 11th. Bill sent me a note of condolence at that time. To the entire Hunter family I extend my deepest sympathies.

When thinking of Shane the biggest thing that comes to mind is what an amazing Grandfather he was to his 8 Grandchildren. They were lucky to have had a grandpa who was so proud of them all. Scott is heart broken on the loss of his dad and has been reminiscing with many stories of things they did together. He will be missed deeply by all that knew him. Rest east Shane.

We will always love and miss you Grandpa❤️

We will miss you Grandpa❤️

Some photos over the years to remember my dad...❤️

I remember you telling me when you met him and I also remember you saying that he was definitely the love of your life and that you were soulmates and that was so obvious.

When we came to visit. Smiling talking laughing I'm just catching up and enjoying each other's company. I am very shocked to hear the news and Shayne's passing God life changes so fast with my deepest sympathies to you Maureen and your families. May your loving memories help you get through this❤

Always enjoyed Shane's company we will miss him

So deeply sorry for

everyone's sudden loss.

Our deepest condolences to Maureen and the entire family on the passing of Shane...He will be deeply missed by his family and friends
