November 8, 1947 - August 03, 2021

James M. “Jim” Hull, 73, of Millersville passed away August 3, 2021, surrounded by his loving family after a brief but fierce battle with leukemia. Born in Lancaster on November 8, 1947, he was the son of the late Robert D. and Mildred (Brown) Hull. He shared more than 50 years marriage with, Margaret “Peggy” (Foehl) Hull.

He enjoyed spending time with many of his lifelong friends and would frequently go to the mountains with his buddies.

He was a dedicated employee at the original Hamilton Watch Factory and remained with the organization through all of its acquisitions and changes for over 40 years.

He will be sorely missed by his wife Peggy, daughters: Kimberly Shirker, wife of Matthew of Ephrata, and Kristine Messinger, wife of David of Seven Valleys, grandchildren: James Alec Zeamer, Jake Shirker, Kennedy, Owen, and Harper Messinger and nieces: Mille and Meghan Young. He was preceded in death by his siblings: Robert Hull and Jane Hull-Young.

Dear Peggy, I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We had so many good times growing up going to school together, hunting and fishing. My father liked it when Jim went along to the cabin because he was such a good person to be around. He was always such a gentlemen when he came in my parents store, he always greeted my parents as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. God bless you as you try and deal with the loss of Jim. Sincerely, Dave Johnson

Dear Peg,
It has to be so hard to lose Jim, your companion of fifty plus years. And, it is so frustrating for us not to be there with you to say good-bye. We want you to know we’re with you in spirit—now and in the days and weeks ahead. Joe and I send all of our love and hugs
