Pastor Allen Hull, Jr. Went to be with the Lord on November 20, 2006, at the age of 78. Allen was born to Allen, Sr. and Ophelia Hull in Junction, Texas on November 27, 1927. He lived in San Antonio, Texas graduating from Edison High School in 1944. He attended Texas A&M University before joining the United States Army where he served two years attaining the rank of Tech Sergeant. It was while he was serving at Camp Stoneman, CA that he met and later married Bette L. Dunlap in 1947.

He was an avid Pinochle and 48 Domino player. He loved to fish even when he caught nothing or spent the whole day baiting hooks for his family. Allen served as a church league basketball coach in the late sixties while living in Tacoma. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and numerous friends. Allen was preceded in death by his parents Allen Hull, Sr. and Ophelia Hull and son-in-law Tim Becker, Sr. He is survived by his wife of 59 years Bette (Dunlap) Hull, Chehalis; his sister Mary Leigh (Hull) Morrow of San Antonio, Texas; his children, Linda (Hull) Becker, Winlock; Laurie Hull, Winlock; and Colonel Allen Hull III, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and his four grandchildren and three great grand children.

I believe this is the Pastor Hull I knew from Bethel church camp in Washington. I think of him and the lessons he taught us now and then. He was a good man.

To the Hull family,

My memories of your dad were of him coaching the girl's softball team. He taught me more about life than he did about softball. He was a positive influence on my life. He was a good man. I'm sorry for your loss.
