We will truly miss Rev Gunter. I remember the first time I visited Gunter’s Chapel. It was in the mid seventies. It is still vivid in my mind. The choirs were fantastic. The sermon he preached was so moving that I told my sister in law that I was coming back the next week and I did. On the third week I joined and still is. Rest in peace.
