James Hull Obituary

James "Chip" F. Hull Jr., 71, of East McKeesport, went to be with the Lord, his infant son, and family on Friday, August 8, 2025.

He was born October 20, 1953, in McKeesport, PA, a son of the late James F. and Alice (Jones) Hull.

He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Plum Borough. He had a long career as a physician assistant where he worked in the federal prison system, and in the fields of occupational health, psychiatric health, emergency medicine, and family practice, which was his favorite. He was loved by his patients, especially children. At the time of his retirement, he was the founding director of the Physician Assistant Program at Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, James F. Hull III; sisters, Mona Hull and Cheryl Ann Hull; and brothers-in-law, Gary Baldwin and Jack Spell. He is survived by his wife of over 55 years, Martina "Tina" (Estochin) Hull; children Tracey (Tim) Hotham of Easley, South Carolina and James E. (Jennifer) Hull of West Lawn, Pennsylvania; beloved grandchildren who were his pride and joy, Ethan Hull, Aimee (George) Hegedus, Alicen Hull and David Ray-Hull; and sister, Cynthia "Punkin" Baldwin of Munhall; sister-in-law, Edith Spell of West Mifflin; brother-in-law, George (Mary) Estochin of Melcroft, and Randa Ray, mother of his grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews who have fond memories of sharing jokes and laughter with their Uncle Chip.
