Preston “Doc” served in the United States Army as a combat medic in Vietnam where he was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Air Medal. We are all thankful for Preston’s service to our country. In addition, he served in the Vermont Jaycees for numerous years and owned Hull’s Auto for twenty years.
Preston was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed traveling between the United States and Canada hunting whitetail deer with his lifelong friends.
