Eugene "Gene" Hull II, Indianapolis, 86, passed away on September 25, 2013.
Gene was a pioneer in television, working at WRTV Channel 6 for 40 years, serving as Union President, and retiring as the oldest Technical Director in the United States.
The month of May was dedicated to covering the Indianapolis 500 throughout his career. He also owned and operated Hullrite Hauling trucking business, helping to build the first malls around the city. Retirement was an opportunity to pursue yet another career in buying and selling equipment.
Gene was preceded in death by his son Edwin Hull, and daughter Vicki Bass.
He is survived by his wife Nancy Hull (Higgins), and six children: Deborah and Chris Klasing, Sherry Redman, Genya and Doug Dispennett, Roanna Williams, C. Eugene III and Daizy Hull, and Eric and Jayne Hull. Gene is also survived by 15 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.
Gene's family will take with them his deep passion and love of all that life offered, endless energy, quest for learning, and his invisible spirit.
