No, you are confusing the son with his father.
John Huntsman Sr. was a humble, successful businessman with faith, graciousness and a strong sense of integrity. He died a little while ago.
John Huntsman Jr. has very little in common with his father.
Jon Huntsman Sr is not dead.
I think you have greatly exaggerated the death of Sr. He just announced that he thought his son would make a great president.
