Terry Alan Hull
Terry Alan Hull, 72, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa died on Monday, September 13, 2021.
Terry was born on October 16, 1948, in Des Moines, Iowa to Nat and Wini (Riggs) Hull. Terry married Judy (Lawrance) Hull on September 22, 1976, at Peace Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This union welcomed one daughter, Tracie. He was a career employee at the United States Postal Service for 31 years, retiring in 2004.
He graduated from Washington High School and while at Wartburg College and then Coe College he was on a nationally ranked debate team, college radio host and tri-state racquetball champion doubles team. He enjoyed parachuting and reading. He had many collections including movies, depression glass, stamps, baseball cards, books, and Hallmark ornaments. He enjoyed decorating for Christmas usually the planning started in the summer and the decorating started in September. Each year had a different theme. After retiring he spent much of his time as an avid wildlife photographer around Cedar Lake, Noelridge Park, and Brucemore. Many people at the lake and the parks would refer to him as “the old guy with the camera”. He also spent many hours photographing his two granddaughters’ soccer games. He would make sure he had pictures of all the team members and then share the photographs with the families.
