Christine was the daughter of Patrick "Pat" Hustis and Marie. Pat and Marie divorced when Christine was a young child and her mother was remarried. Though I never met her in person, we had talked many times on the phone. In 1991 Christine found me while seeking out her father Pat. I had registered with quite a few geology places and she ran across my name and number. After calling my mother Rosemary Hustis, I called my uncle Pat and gave him the news that his long lost daughter was looking for him. My mother and my other uncle Wayne Hustis met with her and within a few days she was on a flight to Montana to meet her father whom she had no recollection of. The reunion was sadly short lived as we found out later Christine had a substance abuse problem and passed away as a result. She was a very bright, intelligent person with a big heart and sense of humor. I really regret not actually meeting her and wish we could have spent more time talking.

Patrick "Pat" Hustis, formerly of Bigfork, MT., passed from this world with quiet dignity at the age of 81 on June 26, 2008 at his home in Spokane, WA.

Pat was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1927. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy at a young age serving on the USS Schuylkill, an oil tanker, during WWII. He served his entire enlistment in the Pacific theater for which he was meritoriously decorated.

After his years in the Navy, Pat spent 40 years participating in the Motion Picture Industry as a teamster, actor and honorary stunt man. It was during this time Pat designed, perfected and operated his well-known "Hustis Camera Cars"; an integral part of filmmaking that allows for the close-up filming of chase and action sequences. He won special recognition for his chase scenes in the classic film "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen and "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason.

In 1973 Pat married Faye Livingston of Great Falls, MT., and moved to Bigfork, MT, building their home on the shores of Flathead Lake and later, their second home on the banks of the Swan River. Instead of retiring, Pat and Faye helped build, co-owned and co-operated the Bigfork Marina in Bigfork's North Shore Harbor for 22 years.

In 2003 the Pat and Faye relocated to Spokane and Loon Lake, WA., where he continued to enjoy the restoration of his wooden Century runabout boat and his passion for boating and fishing.

Patrick was pre-deceased by daughters Patti Ann Hustis and Christine Teresa Baxter . Brother William Hustis Jr and parents Evelyn Hustis and William "Hap" Hustis.

Pat was briefely married to Marie Frank Baxter with whom they had one child Christine. While away filming a motion picture, Marie moved away taking Christine who was less then a year old with her and filed for divorce. After the divorce was final, Marie legally had Christine's last name changed from Hustis to Baxter. Pat did not see his daughter again until she contact me wanting to meet her biological father in 1992. I called Pat and got permission to give Christine his phone number but Pat wanted my mother Rosemary and his younger brother Wayne to meet with her first. After the meeting, Pat flew Christine out to meet with him after not see her for over 41 years. Shortly after the reunion, Christine passed away from a drug overdose.

Pat is survived by his loving wife, Faye; brother Wayne Hustis of Van Nuys, CA whom passed in 2013, daughter Kelly Hustis of Herber City, Utah, CA; step-son Mark Edwards of Las Vega NV, grandsons Patrick Dettman and his wife Lorraine of Heber City, UT and Matthew Bacon of Jacksonville, FL; and three beautiful great grand-daughters Baylee, Megan and Allison Dettman, also of Heber City, UT.
