John Merrill Bunting, age 72 of Georgetown, DE, passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at his home. He was born on May 25, 1948 in Lewes, DE,son of the late John Bunting and Mary Gertrude Lewandowski.
From a young age, Mr. Bunting was a resident of the Stockley Center, later moving to a group home. At both care centers, he made many good friends. Mr. Bunting enjoyed car rides around town, listening to all kinds of music, and rocking away in his rocking chair. His sweet tooth meant he never met a dessert he didn't like. A devout Christian, Mr. Bunting was a servant of the Lord and had great faith that he would one day meet his Savior. He was a loving and devoted brother, uncle, and friend who will be missed by all who knew him.
