Unhappy Co-Founder of Green Peace Canada Dies

Bob Hunter one of the founders of Green Peace Canada passed away yesterday of prostate cancer.

Bob worked with my husband and was nothing but kind to me when we hung out. I learned a lot from him, as did many. He was a great inspiration to many.

He will be missed....

TORONTO -- Canadian Bob Hunter, who co-founded Greenpeace and used his savvy as a journalist to turn the environmental group's fight to an international cause, died Monday after a battle with prostate cancer, the organization said. He was 63.

Hunter, a columnist for the Vancouver Sun in the 1960s and most recently an ecology broadcaster for Canadian media, first came to prominence in 1971 with the launch of Greenpeace and its protests against nuclear testing. He brought public attention to the hunting of whales and seals, as well as the dumping of toxic waste into the oceans.
