Vale Rotarian Malcolm Hull

 

It is with great sadness that the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza remembers our fellow Rotarian Past President Malcolm Hull,  Paul Harris Fellow.  

 

Malcolm passed away last Friday 25 September with his wife, Beth, and three children (Ross, Glen and Sarah) by his side.

 

He had struggled with chemotherapy treatment for leukaemia over the past months, and thought he was in remission. Sadly after recent tests, he found out that this was not the case. Malcolm declined future experimental treatment, with his condition rapidly deteriorating, decided on palliative care.

 

I spoke with him last Thursday and he knew his time was up. I relayed the prayers and best wishes of the Rotary Club of Mt. Eliza members to him.

 

Malcolm epitomised the qualities of a fine Rotarian; unassuming, compassionate, loyal, concerned for other people, a  quiet achiever, and above all a gentleman, with everyone who knew him appreciating his qualities.

 

We will miss Malcolm very much, especially his desire to do what he could for Rotary and the Rotary Club of Mt. Eliza. His involvement with tree planting at the John Butler Reserve and recently the new park in Cobb Road, Mt, Eliza, were his favourite projects. Coincidentally the planting at Cobb Road is underway this very week.

 

The valuable assistance he gave to collect furniture for our garage sales, and eventually Outlook will not be forgotten. The eight years he spent on our Bowel Scan Committee culminating the distribution of 450 test kits to 40 pharmacies on the Mornington Peninsula in 2018 was an achievement.

 

What an active Rotarian he was, yet he still had time to devote to his family, his passion for hockey (at which he excelled) and caravanning when he loved to go to Bright to see the Autumn leaves.

 

He was 82 years of age, an environmental engineer, working at BHP Westernport until retirement.

 

Malcolm was inducted into the Rotary Club of Mt. Eliza on 20^th June 1995, later becoming an Honorary Member. He was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship in 2010. He served as Community Service Director, Programme Chairman, was on The Bowel Scan Committee, Club Service Director, Secretary and eventually as President of the Rotary Club of Mt. Eliza in 2000-2001.

 

Malcolm you have served the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza and the community well. 

 

We thank you for everything, we will miss you.
