John Was one of those guys you could always count on. No pretenses, just a solid citizen with a kind heart and good as gold. I might add that John was one tough competitor on the rowing team at Boston University.

My condolences go out to John's family at this very difficult time. Know that our prayers are with you all. I rowed crew with John at Boston University and remember him as a fun loving, kind hearted, loyal, and caring person who would take the shirt of his back for his friends and teammates. John was always fun to be around and loved to make jokes and to have a good laugh. He will be deeply missed by many. I am so sorry and sad to hear of this very unexpected loss.

I am so sorry to hear about our dear friend John H. Cull Jr.. John was the first friend of Peter's that I met. We became instant friends. John's friendship was unwavering to the two of us. He shared in our joy during one of the happiest times of our life, as the best man in our wedding. His soothing voice was also there to comfort us during one of the most difficult times, when we lost our first born. Through the years, while we lived far from each other, he kept in touch with us and always had a genuine interest in hearing about our kids, Kehvon and Taraneh.
John was a steadfast friend to Peter and me. We will always remember him as a compassionate man of integrity and faith with great devotion to his family and friends. Our thoughts are with John's sister, Jean Marie, and the Cull family.

John was a kind and supportive friend. In our short shared time, many wonderful memories were made. I especially appreciated all the phone calls checking to see how I was doing and the many times John was in the audience for my shows. So sad you didn't get more time, John. With much love.

Jean, please accept my sincerest sympathies. Like everyone, I was shocked to hear of his passing.
I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood with John. I think we first met in cub scouts. That was the beginning of a great friendship. He often accompanied me on my paper route with a quick stop at MacDonalds to satisfy our adolescent hunger. We spent many an afternoon in my treehouse solving the worlds problems and planning for our futures.
Over our adult years, John and I got together occasionally. He made several trips to Maine including a visit to the lake where I now live.
This world has lost an amazing man. I am so very grateful that John was part of my life and was such a wonderful friend growing up.

John was a kind and gentle soul, always there to help others, and seldom calling attention to himself. It's been years since we've run into each other, but I am grateful for the memories and for the privilege of having known such a good person. Peace.

Jean, I cannot find words to express how sorry we are for your loss. My mom and Aunt Carroll watched you and your brother grow up from next door at 16 Kearney Dr., and they have always spoken so very lovingly of the entire Cull family. Please know that you and yours are in the thoughts and prayers of ALL the Noonans' and McMahons'.

John was one of my closest friends. We met in 2006 during a weekend trap game at Country Pond Fish & Game. I was new to target sports and John was very kind to take me under his wing. Despite our difference in age (I was 24 and John was 45), we soon became fast friends and also neighbors when I moved to Hampstead the following year. I was new to home ownership, and John was always there to help, hooking up my generator for me, watching over my house when I was away during an ice storm, teaching me how to mow, snow-blow, use a chainsaw, paint, dry out a flooded basement, I could go on and on.
I have countless memories of great times spent hunting, fishing, motorcycle riding, grilling, and just hanging out with John. Over the years, my parents, brother, and wife all got to experience John's hospitality. As time went on and I moved to Massachusetts, and John moved further north to Nottingham, we kept in touch over the phone, and would see each other when John would visit his father, John Sr. in Westford and sister, Jean in Lowell, or when I was able to take the trip up to Nottingham.
It was just last month that I had reached out to John to plan a meal together. We hadn't seen each other in almost a year. As things were settling down on the family front for me, I was excited to catch up with John. I looked forward to the many opportunities we would have in the years to come to make up for lost time, I looked forward to John meeting my children and watching them grow up, and I looked forward to our friendship continuing well into our old age.
When we met in 2006, I had only been in the United States 3 years, and it was formative experiences such as John's friendship that made me fall in love with this country and its people, and decide to make it my home.
My heart is filled with grief knowing that John has left this world. You made a difference in my life and will be dearly missed, my friend.

Dear Jean, I was shocked and saddened to hear about John. He and I were very close when we were younger. In addition to being together at the Reilly and Moody school, our mothers supervised us at countless Cub Scout den meetings.
It was also John who first taught me the proper way to ski. At Waterville Valley one weekend, he pointed out how important it was to *turn* on the way down the mountain. It was a simple lesson, but one that I never forgot and still use to this day!
I am so grateful that I was able to reconnect with John these past couple of years. Even though John and I both worked for Kodak for over 20 years, our paths never crossed professionally. Through the agency of Dave McCray all of us "Belvidere Kids" got to know each other again. For that, and for John's friendship, I will be forever grateful.
I am so sorry for your loss, which we all share with you.
God bless,
Jim Reynolds
