My condolences to Dr. Tull's Family:
As I look back over 30 years ago I had the pleasure of Dr. Tull being my music teacher. It was a great pleasure having seeing his face every week with that big smile on his face as he greeted every child that passed by him. He will truly be missed not only by his family but the students that he had.
