Reflections for the Ceremony to Celebrate Lloyd Bull's Life
Dad lived a very full life and he lived life to the fullest. His dependability, sense of humor and above all his stubbornness made him uniquely special. He was also a very proud man and would not miss an opportunity to let people know whom he was proud of.
He loved his children and his grandchildren very much and made a point of letting everyone know exactly how proud he was of all of them.
Dad was known for his dependability. You could call him at anytime of the day or night and he would be there to help with any situation you were in. He was a jack-of-all-trades and at a very young age learned his mechanical abilities, as he was raised in the family business known as Bull's Garage in Strathclair. He had an enormous tool collection and spent a lot of time tinkering with his tools.
Dad also liked to have fun. He always enjoyed his cabin at the lake and he entertained everyone playing his guitar around the campfire singing. He also taught us girls how to water-ski and any other children he would always offer to teach them too. We spent many years with Dad at the cabin in Sandy Lake and then later at Thomas Lake.
Dad also had a huge collection of friends. He had very dear friends who would always pass the time with him. Even in ill health he would not miss an opportunity to spend time with a friend.
He also had an uncanny sense of humor. He would always lighten someone's day with a joke or a saying. He always got a chuckle out of people. He loved to tease the nurses and was known to play practical jokes on quite a few of them. Even in his later years when he would get hit with one ailment after another he would miraculously recover and join in to humor everyone in his presence.
Dad is someone who will never be forgotten. In fact, he had some special qualities and his love to make people laugh will no doubt have people repeating his sayings through their years to come. He will be sadly missed by us all. However, we will always have the memories of the times we shared with him, which we will all cherish.Memorials
