I'd respectfully wish to offer my condolences to the Maryland State Police, as well as to the friends and family of Trooper Hunter.

While I never had the opportunity to know Trooper Hunter in person, we had many mutual friends. They have spoken volumes as to what a great cop and and what a great man he was.

My heart goes out to the entire MSP family. I truly feel your loss.

Very Respectfully,

Maryland State Trooper First Class Shaft Hunter and I met in 1998 as Lieutenants in our beloved Corps. We were introduced through a mutual friend, and upon our initial introduction, Shaft embraced me and accepted me as if he had known me for years. Although, we lost touch some years back, reading some of the wonderful reflections brought a smile to my face that the years cannot and will not erase. Simply stated, these reflections reinforced what my initial perception was 13 years ago...I met a good, daggone man!

I appreciate you my comrade for living a life of purpose, conviction, kindness, and honor. May you rest in eternal peace and may God provide your family, friends, and loved one's comfort, understanding, and the strongest of shoulders to rest on when our hearts get weary.

Semper Fidelis my friend,

To the family of Shaft, He was my platoon guide 2061 at Parris Island South Carolina. Our journey started together as young Marine recruits on December 6th 1994 He was a great leader and always on que. He made a huge impact on a lot of people and will be missed by all. There is a section of our Marine Corps Hymn that states, If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes, They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines. I feel this is a true statment and I am sure that he will do an outstanding job up there as he did here. Rest easy knowing that Shaft is guarding the streets of Heaven. I offer my condolances to everyone's life that he touched . God bless and Semper Fi (Always Faithfull) Lance A Whitmore Sgt USMC 1994-1998
