Our whole family practically went to Dr. Tully for a few generations running I have never had a Dentist since whom seemed like part of the family with his wonderful sense of humour and just general good all round disposition He will always be remembered by us; and, especially my older brother whose diagnosis of agromegally was made by Dr. Tully

Uncle Ron was a wonderful man and I have many wonderful memories of him. As children it was our goal to make him laugh when we went to the dentist and I remember many a smirk but rarely a big Uncle Ron laugh. I will always remember his wonderful memory and he always made everyone feel so welcome. I am glad that he is reunited with Auntie Marion. He was a great man and will be missed very much.

Dr. Tully was the dentist for my family for many years. He was wondrful to my Mom as she got older and he was the only dentist I was ever really comfortable with. I have good memories of his neat sense of humour (especially when your mouth was open)and the soothing classical music in the background. My thoughts are with his family.

Dr. Tully was my Dentist for over 38 years. He always made the trip to the dentist a pleasant experience. I saw him during his last week of work and how sad he was at being told that he could no longer practice. I saw him briefly about month ago at VGH. He recognized me right off and very politely asked "Excuse me young lady, do you know me?" I heard the voice and memories then flooded back. We had an very nice visit as he waited for his transportation home.
His memory was sharp and his infectious smile ever present.
Thank you Dr. Tully for making the world a better place.
My Condolences to the family.

Ron was a wonderful presence at Crystal Water Beach. Always friendly, had time to chat, shared his gardening expertise, and his love of classical music. We will certainly miss seeing him as we stroll to the bluff. All the best to the family. Anthea and David Poskitt

I was a patient of Dr. Tully for many years. Even though going to the dentist was always scary, Dr Tully made it easy. He was a gentleman, always was there for me, and took time to understand your needs. I missed him when he retired, and now miss him in his passing. He was a great man. My condolences to the family.

I met Ron when I first moved back to Vancouver as a newly garduated dentist from U of T in 1979. Ron was part of a small but active group of Xi Psi Phi (Zips) dental fraternity alumni in the Vancouver area. Ron was always keenly interested in the profession and professionalism of dentistry. I last met with Ron a few months ago. He had wanted to help out the Toronoto ZIP House rebuild after a recent fire so a lunch was arranged to 'pass the hat'. He was always the gentleman.
