Gentlemen,
I writing this post to inform you that my grandpa, Roger Hull, passed away yesterday after 101 years of life. Such a long life is hard to summarize but I'll refer only briefly to the Model T facts. He owned a 1913 Model T Roadster and was a member of MTFCA, MTFCI, and a founding member/first President of the Southwest Ohio Model T Club.

Some of you knew him and I let him know of your support after grandpa turned over his Model T to my care a few years ago.
Thank you all who have mentioned stories or memories of my grandpa since I joined this forum... it has meant a lot to the family.

So sorry to hear of Your grandads passing Darin.
I'm sure he'll be smiling from above watching you care for his 13 roadster. 101 years is a good life but but always seems cut short. Prayers are with yu and your family.
Our sincere condolences to the Hull Family.
Harvey & Karen Decker

Even when our family members and friends are past 100, it's hard to see them go. I'm sorry to learn of Roger's passing.
My condolences, Darin.
Darin,
Very sorry to hear of your loss. Very nice that your grandpa was able to live such a long and fruitful life. The 13 looks great too!
My condolences to you, Darin, and to your family. His memory will live on every time you go riding in the 1913.
I'm sorry for your loss Darin. My father is turning 95 in Dec. and every day we have him is a blessing. I also have a 1913 which dad has driven. We are very fortunate to have enjoyed our love one's for so many years.
I'm sorry to read of your grandpa's passing. You were fortunate to have him with you so long. I know that you will take good care of his car. It will be 100 years old next year.

Darin sorry about Roger, Grandpa, will always be in our minds at the Kingdom of Callaway MTFCA club. I'm the last founding member and President this year, Tommorrow nite is our club meeting and I'll let our members know of his passing.
Darin,
My wife Sally and our children will always remember your Grandfather he was a really wonderful person. It was a pleasure to have been one of his friends.
Darin,
I’m sorry to hear of your Grandpa passing. You have a great tool in the 1913 to help your family remember him and many of the good times he had. You and your extended family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
If you would like a good cry (that can sometimes be helpful) and if you like country music, I would recommend listen to Brad Paisley’s song “When I Get Where I’m Going.” It still means a lot to me and I look forward to joining those I love sometime in the future. Remember to exit at the end – as the next song may be totally unrelated. See the you tube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHT-TF4KO4
Respectfully submitted,

Darin,

I met Roger at the time of that photo. It was at the 2001 Hillbilly Tour out of Lake of the Ozarks, My first tour with my dad. Photo was taken across from Ha Ha Tonka. I enjoyed look and talking about his T. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I know it is an important part of life. But it always saddens me to hear of the passing of any friend's family member or friend. Keep him in your heart. And he will ride with you in your T.
My condolences.

My prayers are with you.
My condolences to you and your family, I lost mine at age 93 I can't imagine all the changes someone that age has seen and had the privilege to experience. My God comfort you in your loss.
Every time I saw your grandad he had a big smile on his face. I'm sure he's smiling down on you now, as you continue in the hobby he loved. He was a great guy.
Sorry for your loss... Wow, 101 ...What a life , the things he saw . May we all live as long as we possibly can in good health !
Thank you, guys. I've shared your comments with the rest of the family.
