Windham, Maine - Richard Anthony Gull, 74, passed away in Falmouth Maine on February 28, 2019. The son of Anthony and Antoinette (Finelli) Gull, he was born in Pittsfield Massachusetts on June 9, 1944. He played basketball while in high school and was on a championship team that had the privilege of playing at the Boston Garden. While at Bryant College he also played basketball, and was known to shoot hoop throughout his entire life. The highlight of Richard's year was watching the "March Madness" college basketball teams. Richard worked most of his career in the trucking industry. He enjoyed traveling for his work visiting his clients and talking to them about sports, and every other thing, even sometimes about trucks. His likable personality made him a successful salesman, building relationships and loyalty with his customers. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying fishing, gardening and landscaping, and working with his hands. He loved animals and had a special place in his heart for dogs, especially Bichons. From childhood he was known to care for injured animals. He loved horses and horse races. He enjoyed Cape Cod and lived there for many years. He was also very fond of Florida and was able to enjoy a condo there with his wife Lynn in their retirement. He served his country in the Army Reserves. He delighted in spending time with his family, and was a loving caring uncle to his sister's four children, three of which are triplets. After they were born he often traveled to Connecticut to help take care of the three newborns.

He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Lynn (Guinon) Gull, his sister Patricia Callahan and her husband David of Connecticut, and his nieces and nephews Michael, Mark, Laurie, and Cheryl.

Dick was a great guy and a good friend.

We played a lot of sports together growing up at Springside Park. At this time of year that often meant shoveling the snow off the basketball court and shooting hoops with mittens and gloves. That was how he honed the shooting skills that served him well at PHS.

RIP my friend.

To the Gull Family:

While I have not seen Richard in many years, I have very good memories of him playing on the basketball team and it seems like only yesterday. The team of 1962 was a great team. He was a very quiet guy in high school but always had a ready smile. May your memories of him sustain you through this difficult time.

The neighborhood won't be the same without Richard there. His friendly, helpful attitude was welcoming from my first day in my new home! I will surely miss his friendly wave while I am gathering my mail or mowing the lawn, and the neighbor bond that forms from sharing stories, and sometimes, tools.
