We celebrate the wonderful life of Stanley Ross Hunt. Born on August 31, 1939, to Robert Jr. and Irene Hunt on a farm in Ramsey, Illinois, he was the second eldest among four brothers and one sister. He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 40 years, Betsy Hunt. A respected business leader, Stan served as General Manager, President and CEO of Powerex Inc. in Youngwood, PA—a joint venture between General Electric, Westinghouse, and Mitsubishi—from 1984 until his retirement in 2007. Leading with integrity, he guided the company through numerous challenges, safeguarding hundreds of jobs and transforming Powerex into a thriving, sustainable enterprise. In recognition of his impact, the company dedicated a building in his honor: The Stan Hunt Manufacturing Center. Stan offered his strategic insight and steady leadership to his community as well. He served for decades on the boards of the United Way and the American Red Cross. During his 50 years in the Greensburg area, he poured his heart into Charter Oak Church, helping shepherd it from a small gathering in a basement into a multi‑campus community ministering to thousands. He served faithfully as Chair of the Church Council and was known as a truthful, compassionate, wise leader whose faith influenced countless lives. His favorite scripture, John 15:5—“Jesus is the vine and we are the branches; those who remain in Him will bear much fruit”—was a guiding truth throughout his life. The fruit of that faith touched everyone who knew him. His faith in Jesus Christ became the steady bedrock foundation on which the family would turn to for guidance, strength, and direction. In his free time, Stan enjoyed Pittsburgh sports, golf, ping-pong, and billiards. His competitive spirit could be heard in the hearty cheers that filled the room whenever the Steelers scored.
