"Remembering Dr. George Hull Jr.": March 25, 2014
The Northwest Family YMCA hosted an event honoring the Life and Legacy of our departed Yokefellow Dr. George Hull. It was truly an inspiring event and touched the hearts of all in attendance. He was truly a great person and his legacy will live on through the many people that his passion and commitment to service affected.
It is truly an honor to have served along side of him with the Nashville Club! Thanks again Northwest YMCA and the Hull family for honoring his name and ensuring that everyone remembers all that he exhibited in his life of service!!
There is a plaque that will remain at the Northwest Family YMCA as a testament to all that he has given the Northwest YMCA, but more importantly to the Nashville Community!
