Robert "Bob" Lawrence Bull

On March 27, 2025, Bob Bull made a peaceful transition to his heavenly home surrounded by the love of his family. Bob has been a member of St. Peters Anglican Church since its inception, having been active in the Anglican and Episcopal denominations. Bob’s faith guided him through life which he shared with his family and friends. He is now enjoying the eternal kingdom promised to him through his faith. Bob is preceded in death by his father Hugh McDerment Bull and his mother Margaret Kirton Bull. Bob is survived by his wife of 58 years, Nancy; his five children, Johnny Lawrence Bull (Angie), Margaret Elizabeth Adams, Robert Lawrence Bull, Jr. (Misty), Thomas Hugh Bull, and Nancy Anne Teems (Chad); his 11 grandchildren, Katie, Robert, Natalie, Emily, Morgan, McKenzie, Ali, Hailey, Victoria, Chandler, and Zachery; 5 great-grandchildren, Madisyn, Ashlyn, Lilian, Kaylyn, and Jillian; and his two brothers Richard Hugh Bull (Alice) and Norman Clarke Bull. Bob was born in Brooklyn, NY on July 8, 1934, the son of Hugh and Margaret Bull. He was a first generation American for both sides of the family. He spent most of his youth in New York. His family moved to Orlando during his high school years, and he graduated from Orlando High School in 1952. After graduation, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, serving during the Korean War. He was stationed for one and half years on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. He completed his time in the Air Force, serving under leadership at the Pentagon. After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Bob entered the Florida Highway Patrol Academy. He was part of one of the earliest graduating classes at the Academy in 1956. Upon graduation, he worked in Central Florida running the roads of Lake and Volusia Counties. He had stops along the way in Pahokee, Tallahassee, Plantation, and back to Tallahassee. Each location was rewarded with a new promotion. In 1984, he was chosen to participate in an elite leadership training at the FBI Academy. Bob’s career with FHP was solidified with his lead as Troop H Commander in Tallahassee. He concluded his tenure with the FHP by being the leader for the FHP’s accreditation efforts in 1994. Throughout his tour at the FHP, Bob went back to school and received his BS in Criminal Justice from Florida International University in 1979. All this while supporting his family, church, civic groups, and spending as much time at Tom Brown Park as any parent in Leon County. Bob was continuously active in civic and community groups once returning from his military service. Service began in Clermont with the Elks Club and the Florida Lodge of Free Masons. After settling in Tallahassee, Bob was a member of the Killearn Kiwanis Club, Kiwanis AKTION Club, Springtime Tallahassee, Marzuq Shrine Temple, and Oddfellows. He also served many years on various boards that he was very proud of, such as First Florida Credit Union and Landmark Beach Resort. Of all the groups, he was particularly fond of working with the special members of the AKTION Club. His dedication and loyalty to the group was undeniable and he loved each one of the members. Bob’s legacy will be carried on with his friends, groups, church, and family. He will always be alive in our hearts and all he left behind. A faithful servant to the Lord and family.
