Warrenton

April 6, 1935 — May 6, 2018

James (Harry) Hulon, of Warrenton, Oregon, passed away in Hillsboro on May 6, 2018, at the age of 83.

Harry was born in Chester, South Carolina, on April 6, 1935, to Bessy and Jesse Hulon. Preferring his middle over his given name, Harry (which everyone knew him as) was one of 11 children; having seven brothers and three sisters. At the age of 17, Harry enlisted in the Navy and proudly served his country during the Korean War. After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Harry found his way west to Oregon. It was here that he met and married Donna Sue Schultz.

Getting work at Georgia Pacific Railway meant moving to South Carolina for a spell. Securing a position at the Astoria Plywood Mill brought them back to Oregon, where he also spent several years commercial fishing on an old Columbia River bowpicker. When he wasn’t working, Harry had several hobbies which included fishing, hunting and woodworking.

He and Donna raised three children and shared 50 years of marriage together before she preceded him in death in 2004.

He was generous with his time and ability to fix anything. He was a good man, and a wonderful father, and will be missed by all who got to know him. May you rest in peace, Harry Hulon.

Harry is survived by his three children, John (Christine) Hulon of Knappa, Oregon, Jama Hulon (Kimberly Zufolt) of Astoria, Oregon, and Kathy Hulon of Warrenton, Oregon; and two grandchildren, Travis Magers of Warrenton, Oregon, and Whitney Hulon of Portland, Oregon.

The family would like to invite those who knew Harry for a celebration of life, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 2, 2018, at 2 p.m. Since it is at a private residence, the family requests that you please contact Kathy Hulon at kathhulon@gmail.com for further details.

Interment of Harry’s cremated remains will take place at a later date at the city of Astoria’s Ocean View

Cemetery.
