Obituary - Joe Dean Hull
Joe Dean Hull, age 73, resident of Ft. Scott, died Saturday February 24, 2018, at his home following a lengthy illness. He was born on October 5, 1944, in Ft. Scott, KS, the son of James Isaac Hull and Ruby Terrill Hull.
He married Myrtle Gaston on June 15, 1965, in Nevada, MO. In his younger years he worked for Lawson’s Radiator and Judy’s Iron and Metal in Belltown, then a short time with Bruce Marble and Granite. He then began his career with Peerless Products, retiring after 47 years. He also owned and operated Joe’s Storm Door and Window for several years.
Joe enjoyed raising cattle, each with their own name, and going to the sale barn. He liked to hunt, fish, and camp, purchasing a camper recently. He bowled, and roller skated quite well. He loved spending time with his family. He taught each of the grandsons how to roller skate, much to their amazement. He found time to get one-on-one with each grandchild, teaching life lessons along the way. Joe was a friend who never met a stranger. He was associated with the Lighthouse Tabernacle, Pittsburg, KS.
