Dr. Hull was not just a Doctor, but a friend and a real Humanitarian, he was'nt just doing a job, he cared for his patients and new them by name, he understood financially hard times, and never made you feel bad to leive his office with a bag of samples. He also had a sense of humor, and never complained about his health problems, he was a trooper till the bitter end ! I am proud he was my Dr.and i and alot of others are better off having had the opportunity to have known him. my heart felt prayers go out to his Family. God bless and we'll all miss you.

Dear Hull Family,
My heart and prayers go out to you; I'm so saddened hearing Dr. Hull passed. He was a great mentor and friend; I owe the majority of my success to him and his teachings of work ethic and compassion. I think of him often and feel so badly that I hadn't looked him up sooner. Dr. Hull was one of those people who we should all be grateful for knowing as he is truly one of the greats that come along once in a lifetime if we are lucky enough to meet them.

Again my prayers and condolences, he was an amazing man !

Thank you to everyone and all your beautiful posts that you entered on-line to celebrate my Dad's life just as you knew it. It is true that he loved his patients very much. His loss to the community is great, but his loss to his family is/was almost unbearable. Your postings through the guest book are a great way for all of us to see him through your eyes. I know we all miss him so much already, and I know that he would want only one thing to come from all of his kids alike.....keep on going, press on, and when you want to quit ....DON'T! He taught us all so much, most of which did not require words spoken from him to learn the lesson but rather by picking up on his own principles that he led us through just by practicing them in front of us. He was the most consistent man I had ever met, and would often run circles around me just a few years ago never sitting down and constantly going or fixing something. He lived up to his word until the very end, and we were all truly blessed to be able to say goodbye before he was gone. He is forever immortal in our eyes and we will all be together again in Heaven.

I miss you already Dad and I wont let you down,

Tiffers

Our deepest sympathies go out to Debra’s family and
we would like to add this poem…by Mary Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow.
In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dr. Hull has taken wonderful care of 4 generations of my family, from my mother to my grandson. I know the wait for him was sometimes long, when I was going through a difficult time he spent a lot of time with me when I really needed him to. I always thought when I was waiting, he is helping someone who really needs him,so I just carried a book and was happy to wait,he was worth it. He will be greatly missed.

I have so many fond memories of working for Dr. Hull in that pink little office on Granada. He taught me so much and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. He was so devoted to the care of his patients that we would have to take shifts to stay late with him. He was truely a caring man. He took care of us when we were sick as well as our families. In fact, if we would call off sick, he would make us come in to see the doctor- so much for a day off. He believed in hard work and team work. These are traits that anyone who has worked for Dr. Hull will take with them wherever they go. Although he is no longer physically with us, Dr. Hull's spirit will stay alive in all of us who had the privilege to know him.

I did not know Dr. Hull that long but I found out that if he met you at all he cared and remembered you. He was a remarkable man with so much love and compansion for everyone he touched. His legend in life will be cared on through the wonderful family he leaves behind. Just remember how much he loved each and everyone of you.

Dr. Hull will be greatly missed. He was a great doctor and friend to my father. He stayed by his side at his death 42 years ago. He delivered us 3 girls now ages 53, 50 & 45. He was devoted and took great care of my 85 year old mother for the past 50 years. To mom If doctor Hull did'nt say it, then it aint so. Rest in peace Doctor Hull. You will be greatly missed. In loving memory, Eloise Cuyler and Family.

Dear Family of Dr. Hull,
I want to extend my deepest sympathies during this difficult time. I had the privilege of knowing and working with Dr. Hull for several years. He was a wonderful, caring man loved by many. He always told me he would never retire...he would work until he left us. So, bless him, he has finally retired; and may he have a good and peaceful rest now. He touched many lives and this community. He will be sorely missed.

Our prayers for each of you,
