Josh Scull

Josh was born in Hoke County on August 28, 1934, to the late Oscar Hall Scull and Ina Parker Scull.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his identical twin brother William David Scull and wife Nora, brother Oscar Hall Scull Jr., sisters Elizabeth Scull Maxwell and husband O.B., and Mollie Scull Whiteis and husband Lester, nephews Wayne Whiteis, Greg Whiteis, Stan Maxwell, and nieces Arlene Mattes and Shirley Cataldo.

Josh graduated from Hoke County High School in 1952. He attended Louisburg College and North Carolina State University. He served in the United States Navy and then worked in avionics at Simmons Army Airfield until retirement. At his core, Josh was a caregiver and served his Savior by serving others. He cared for his grandmother, great aunt, father, and aunt when they became unable to care for themselves. When his service to them was complete, he served his community as a Hospice volunteer for over 20 years, as well as volunteering at the Help Store, the Child Development Center, and Family Florist of Red Springs.

Josh is survived by his sister Marguerite Scull Dees and husband Danny, sister-in-law Patricia Strong Scull, ( informally adopted ) son David Clay Allison, many generations of nephews, nieces, cousins, and countless friends.

A graveside service will be held at Parker Methodist Church on June 12, 2025, at 7 pm followed by a time with his family in the fellowship hall.

Josh believed that flowers should only be given to those who are still with us to enjoy them.

In that spirit, the family requests donations be made in his memory to the Hospice Foundation of Hoke County PO Box 1584, Raeford NC 28376 or Parker Methodist Church PO Box 27, Raeford NC 28376 in lieu of flowers.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
