Clinton Leroy Hull
July 24, 1932 - August 11, 2020
Clinton Leroy Hull of Newburg, Missouri passed away on Tuesday, August 12, 2020 at Cedar Point Nursing Home in Rolla, Missouri at the age of 88. Clinton was born in St. James, Missouri on July 24, 1932 to the late Jess and Betty (Jenkins) Hull. Clinton proudly served his County in the United States Army, he was stationed in Germany during the Korean War. On February 19, 1951, Clinton married the love of his life, Miss Rebecca Hart, this union was blessed with three children. Clinton spent his working career at Rawlings Sporting Goods, as a sewing machine mechanic, and worked at several locations around the state of Missouri. He and Becky settled in at Newburg, Missouri. He loved to hunt and fish; this would take he and Becky all over the country doing what they loved. They went fishing in Alaska, pheasant, quail, and chucker hunting in Iowa, and elk hunting in Colorado; in addition to traveling for hunting they shared the love of watching the grand-kids play sports, in particular, when their grandson played high school and college baseball, they would travel to as many games as they could, often times in the fall, or early spring when it was still pretty chilly outside Clinton would take a small portable heater to set up so they could have a little warmth. It never bothered Clinton, as he was doing what he loved most, and that time he spent with his family was the greatest gift of all. Clinton was a true family man, he adored his family and raised them with the morals and values of what it means to work hard, he was a people person, a good listener, without being judgmental, he was a "go-to" guy for almost anything you needed, maybe a piece of equipment that needed fixed, something needing built, or if you just needed some words of wisdom, Clinton was your guy; although he was very humble, and did not want any praise for his works, he did a lot of things that nobody even knew about. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, his finest quality was his patience, an inherent ability to listen, to absorb and to offer a point of view based on quiet, measured wisdom. Finally, every day of his 69 years of marriage, he taught his children, and grandchildren what it meant to be a great husband. He married his sweetheart, he adored her, he laughed with her and cried with her, and was dedicated to her totally. We bid farewell as we mourn the loss of a lively, and dignified soul, a soul that brought joy and fulfillment to many, and whose legacy will live forever. Clinton Leroy Hull is survived by his wife Rebecca (Becky) Hull, of the home; children, Judith Light, of Newburg, MO, Ronda Spencer and husband Chuck, of Eureka, MO, and Stephen Hull and wife Trish, of Newburg, MO; grandchildren, Robbie Floyd, Jeannie (Brad) Goins, Jessica Busbey, Sherry Spencer, John Spencer, Travis (Krystal) Hull, Todd (Danielle) Hull, Vanessa Hull, and Ryan Hull; 17 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren, a host of extended family and friends.
