Chief Commoner Wallis G G Hunt |
|
|
Wallis Hunt was a most respected member of the City community and a valued member of our Ward Club. He joined during the early 1960's and soon afterwards, in 1962 he became a member of the Court of Common Council as a member for Cripplegate Without and later as a Deputy in about 1974. He remained a member of the Court and crowned his service by becoming the Chief Commoner in 1975. Wallis had a successful career in the City, which, sadly, ended on a less than happy note when the stockbroking firm he was running was brought down, through no fault of his, by fraud. Typically, Wallis toughed it out and was instrumental in ensuring that all the creditors of the firm were paid in full. Although he never complained, there is no question that this chapter of his life had a big impact on him and he did not work in the City again. Within the Ward Club he progressed through the various offices until becoming Master in the Centenary year. He remained a member and most loyal supporter of the Club even after leaving London and finally resigned due to ill health in 1999. Wallis Hunt died in 2001 ....... his Obituary is elsewhere on this site: Click Here to View |
