Huntsman’s legacy now in the hands of his eight children

But besides any personality traits — from ambition to wittiness, compassion to curiosity, principled to practical — Huntsman’s eight surviving children (daughter Kathleen died in 2010 at age 44) also bear very visible parts of his legacy.

Several years ago, the family patriarch said he expects his descendants to follow his lead and give back to the community through business, civic and charitable engagement.
