A memorial service will be held Monday, April 8, at Immaculate Conception Church for Jerry Hulse, of Kaua’i and California.
Hulse died Jan. 20, 2002, in Burbank, Calif. at the age of 77.
A renowned travel journalist, Hulse was editor of the Los Angeles Times Travel section from 1960 through 1991 and traveled extensively during his career. He maintained a condominium in Kapa’a and divided his time between California and Kaua’i.
During the months he spent on Kaua’i each year, he was an active member of Immaculate Conception Church and was heavily involved with renovation efforts.
His career took him around the world more times than he could count and it was reported in a respected journalism publication that Hulse was “widely considered to be the best travel writer in the country.” His many honors and accolades included the French government’s Legion of Honor as well as recognition and respect from top travel officials and journalists. A lengthy tribute in the newspaper he served for over 30 years said that travel industry veterans believed Hulse played a crucial role in the shaping of American thinking about travel. He has also been credited for his influence in popularizing Hawai’i as a visitor destination.
Jerry Hulse is survived by two sons, Richard of Simi Valley, Calif. and Bo of Marina del Rey, Calif.; two grandchildren and special friend, Hilda Cannon of Kaua’i.
