Wilbur Willis Hullet passed away at his residence in Skiatook on March 11, 2013. He was born in 1924 in Perkins, Oklahoma to Cleo and Pauline (Weems) Hullet.
His early years were spent on the family farm outside of Avard, OK. After graduating from Avard High School, he farmed with his brother Ed Hullet and worked as a Woods County engineer and Frisco depot agent. He married Opal Murray and they had a son Connie Mack and a daughter Judy. In 1960, he moved the family to Ponca City where he was employed in Research & Development for Conoco Oil Company. During that time he continued his education at Oklahoma State University receiving a degree in Petroleum Engineering.
He then married Peggy Newlin adopting her two sons Ron and Gary. Soon they were transferred to Ventura, California where Wil became project manager for Conoco’s heavy crude production.
During his 35 years of employment with Conoco Wil was an offshore production manager in New Orleans, LA., and also performed oil exploration in Dubai, U.A.E. as well as in Uvalde, TX. While in Uvalde, he returned to Skiatook to marry Preshia Jane Hall and together they completed his career in Scotland where he managed a ground breaking deep-water production platform in the North Sea. His hobbies included fishing, golfing, square dancing, and in his latter years he and Jane enjoyed 4-wheel driving in the mountains of Colorado.
