Stephen Richard Hull, 60, of Langley, died March 8, 2003.

He was born Sept. 6, 1942, in Ogden, Utah, to William and Dixie Hull. At age 3, his family moved to Boise, Idaho, where they lived for seven years before moving to Salt Lake City.

He served two years in the Army. He lived on Whidbey Island since 1980 and worked as a plumber and handyman.

He was a chief supporter of the South Whidbey Skate Park, and was always willing to lend a helping hand.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Dixie Hull; and a sister, Marilyn Silver.
