I was Hulen's neighbor in Montague for almost 30 years. My husband Clyde and I loved this man. I remember the time when he purchased the property at the end of PR210 and was setting t-posts in the summertime by himself. I think he had over 200 t-posts that he set. He just took his time and got it done. He was an amazing friend and neighbor. We will miss him so much.
