Not sure what to say?

To Janet, Lance and Kyle, it saddens me that for all the players that Bill and your Dad coached for Baseball and Football at Analy High School, I have not seen others players write Memories about their time playing for him. At first when I met Coach back in the spring of 1969 it took awhile to understand him but once I got to know Coach we became friends. Even years later after I became a Professional Baseball Umpire and he was watching one of my games, it did not stop Coach from pointing...

Mr. Hullums as I knew him or Coach, was my JV football and Baseball Coach at Analy in 1969 - 1970 for Baseball and 1970 for JV football. He was a great teacher on and off the field, he had a lot of patience with me but he made me toe the line, I always knew where I stood with him. I will miss him.

Bill was one of those gentle spirits that passes though the world and leaves an impact on all he sees and all he touches. The world needs more like him. I was blessed to have him in my life. He is missed.

A fast year already since Bill's passing. We were so fortunate to be blessed with his strength, kindness, humor and energy. May the family and friends be building on those heritages as we miss him.

Dear Janet,
It's been many years since I've seen both of you but I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met you at your wedding and a few times after but Portland was a trip away and we only got together a few times after. Years have past but I never forgot how special you both were. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
