   Surviving are his wife, Jean Adams Bunch; three sons, George Alvin “Al” Bunch, Jr. and his wife Lilly of Winston-Salem, Brian Adams Bunch and his wife Missie of Edenton, and Michael Lee Bunch of Camden, SC and his companion Mary Geneva Brackett of Charlotte; a sister, Carolyn Rogerson of Winfall; and six grandchildren, Lauren Elizabeth, Lindsey Shaw, Holden Olsen, Connor Ellis, Samuel Williams, and Wyatt Douglas Bunch.

   Following a private family burial in Beaver Hill Cemetery, a service of celebration will be held Friday at 11:00 a.m. in Edenton Baptist Church and will be conducted by his pastor, The Rev. David Brooks. Friends may join the family at the residence.
