    Funeral services for Farrell “Bud” Hunt will be 1 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, 2014, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.  Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. until the hour of service on Tuesday.  Burial will follow in Zif Cemetery where military honors will be conducted.  Memorial donations are suggested to assist the family with expenses and will be accepted at the funeral home, or may be mailed to: 500 N. Main St., Flora, IL  62839.  Share a condolence or memory with the family by visiting www.frankandbright.com.
