In Memoriam

In Tribute to Gerry Hull

Although Gerry passed away several years ago,we still remember him for his integrity and commitment to building Triple Nine Resources & identifying the Four Corners Project as a significant mineral property holding promise for great value and the company we have all lost a welcome fixture in our lives. As a family man, friend, businessman, prospector and student of the world …we are all poorer with his loss. Those of us who had the pleasure to know and work with Gerry, are grateful for the dedication and ongoing commitment he brought to the many and varied projects that he championed. All Of us Will miss his warmth and wit, and his enviable gift for dissecting challenges, finding the root of the issue, and presenting the most practical and workable solution for the benefit of all.

 

Gerry’s good nature and ingenuity were once tested after a long day of prospecting off the Sector 5 Access Road. Having put in a full day in the field, he returned to his truck only to realize that in his haste to get exploring—he’d inadvertently left the headlights on. When the engine refused to turn over, Gerry had little choice but to start the roughly 15-mile hike back to the Burgeo Highway. Late in the evening, he finally made it to the road. But for a lone man at night on an infrequently used highway, the chances of catching a ride were slim. To improve his odds, Gerry improvised a flag with a stick and a twenty-dollar bill.

Luckily, a Department of Highways truck pulled over and the long day was finally at an end. Less fortunately, three days after his misadventure, Gerry found himself back in the woods with a partner and an unfamiliar truck. Their work done, they made their way back to the vehicle only to find that a long walk out awaited them–once again the truck’s lights had been left on and the battery drained.

Bright, funny and loyal–Gerry leaves a lasting legacy as both a gentleman and scholar.
