Prayers for J. B. Hunt and family

[KJW]

Sounds like he had a horrible accident this weekend and is in critical condition.

[mcheiss]

Some sort of fall from what I heard. Not sure on the details.

[Mith242]

Weird, guess I haven't seen any local news I didn't know anything about it till I saw this.

[dimebag1980]

Hmmm... anything new on this, guys??

[Aporkalypse]

Best wishes to Mr Hunt.

I read something last week that the stock was way up because of takeover rumors, that someone was trying to take over the company. I don't think much has happened since with that.

Hmmm... anything new on this, guys??

[Mith242]

Nothing, except that he's still in Critical Condition.

It's odd b/c no one is coming out to as what the fall was.

[KJW]

Yeah they're being rather quiet about it all. They won't come out with any details about it.

[mcheiss]

He passed away today.

[dimebag1980]

What a shame.

I forgot all about this thread, so I haven't checked in since before this tragic news. I just thought now about it because my company's CEO, who knew Hunt, just mentioned it in today's weekly corporate newsletter.

I found out more. His fall came from the ice storm when he hit his head on a patch of ice.

He will be missed.

R.I.P J.B. Hunt (1927-2006).
