A great loss. I remember Conan O'Brien tried to get him as a guest and he wouldn't come on the show so Conan flew out to his house to do the interview. Crazy stuff watching Conan and Hunter Shooting it up in Hunters backyard.

I remember seeing him on Conan's show, and he was pointing to his Nikes while slipping out of the chair, and saying that he made them in his garage. Conan was laughing, and saying, "You did NOT make your shoes in your garage!" and trying to get the interview to make sense. Then Hunter said he was "making things that explode" in his garage, and had a lot of explosives stored in there. Conan was laughing and saying, "OK, you invented Nikes, and you're making bombs in your garage!" It was the most surreal interview I've ever seen.
