He was born at home in Moulton Valley, Idaho, on May 27, 1927, delivered by his grandmother. His childhood in Moulton Valley instilled lifelong skills for inventing, mechanizing, hunting, and fishing. His passions were the great outdoors, being a mechanic, and bowling. He loved to speak about it with anyone who would listen. He served in WWII, a Navy man. Upon returning home, he married Betty Marie Merrick of Burley, Idaho. Together they had seven children, 14 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. He leaves behind a sister, Eva Meline; his children, Peggy Myers, Patricia Shepard, Richard (Angie) Bullers, Tom (Sara) Bullers, Tim (Cindy) Bullers, and Jon (Gail) Bullers.

Readng some of the comments of Cy's family brought back fond memories of when I used to live a few miles from the Buller's Ranch. I used to walk there to visit Peggy's grandparents and of course Peggy. We used to go to the Buller's 4th of July reunions. Really enjoyed them. Got to know Richard pretty good. He always had a good attitude and a good laugh.
Peggy tried to teach me how to ride a motorcycle, but trying to transition from a horse to a bike was not working. But it was fun trying. Cy had (has) a good family. I am sure he is happy on the other side and he is proud of his family. He has gone on to meet his loved ones who have passed on and they are having a great reunion. On of these days we will follow in his footsteps and be reunited. I treasure my memories of his family. May God bless you all.

Thank you Dad for working hard and alway coming home to your family at end of your workday. Thank you for teaching me and my siblings the value and fun of outdoor life, giving us your knowledge of how to fix many things including car mechanics. Thanks for teaching me the importance of hard work and doing my best at all things in life. Though we were taught to work hard there were times of fun, playing outdoor games like catch, fox and geese, Annie-I-over, going fishing and hunting. Dad taught me the significance of being frugal with money and how important it was to listen and treat people kindly.
One of my fondest memories of Dad was when he would take time at night before bed to read from the Tarzan book collection he had. Because he read with such exuberance, us kids listened intently to the adventure he was reading.
I loved working and spending time with Dad because many times he would explain what needed to be done and best way he knew how to. Often Dad would tell me about his younger life working on farm/ranch or walking his 20-mile winter trap line in mountains. Work was fun when I got to hear his stories.
We all ad our own life experiences with Dad and I think he knew how fortunate he was to have our love and making it possible for him to live out his remaining days at his own home until he left us September 30, 2024. I am thankful to him for being best Dad he knew how to be.
Special thanks to my Sister and brothers who made sure they were there to help Dad even when he did not think he needed it. Your life will live on in our memories!

My fondest memories of my dad were going fishing with him he made it fun but hard. He managed to take us where the snakes were the biggest I had ever seen. I honestly think he like hearing us scream
Snake!
My two boys when they were young would come running out of the barn soaked with cows milk. My dad loved to soak them while he was milking.
He was so loved by his family. I spent 69 years loving this fine man the longest of anyone in my life.
In the last month of his life he couldn´t remember any of us. God had taken all his memories away from him of this world so he could start new ones in another.

Uncle Cyrus memory
When we lived on the old Moon place,the old man would be on one of his mean streaks Uncle Cy would come and stay and give us some relief. Bob Lloyd usually was on better behavior when someone else was around. I slept in a corner, mom would put her coat on the floor,I would curl upon it, the old man would throw his dirty coat over me. Uncle Cy made a little cot for me. It was so good to get up off the cold,hard floor and sleep in a bed.

Peggy, Pat, Jon, Vanessa, Chuck (as well as all the rest of the Bullers clan ) my thoughts & prayers are with each & every one of you during your time of loss. I met Cy through my dad, Marvin Stone, they was always in mechanic mode so I was supposed to be keeping to my own (which I never did for long)
My dad would get frustrated with me so Cy would give me some odd job to do while they turned wrenches, banged & clanged on whatever the latest mechanical mishap happened to be. Years had went by before I ever pieced together who all of Cy's kids was. Jon & I was talking on the school bus ride home one afternoon when we started talking bout our families. He was shocked to learn who my dad was & I in turn was shocked to find out that Mary, Peggy & Pat was his sisters & he was Vanessa & Chuck's uncle. Kinda freaked me out because Vanessa was in the process of teaching me how to ride a dirt bike (without my parents knowing naturally) I still don't exactly know how Cy found out, but he told my dad & he told mom ... Mom had a conniption fit & dad decided I needed a motor overhaul project to keep my mind off dirt bikes. He bought some junky old motor from Cy & between the two of them, they kept me busy for the rest of that summer. I learned a lot about from Cy even though it was super hard for me to understand him. My mom claimed the only blessed thing I was learning, was how to get every pair of jeans I owned stained with grease. Now while that was true also, she never complained when I was fixing her vehicle - - usually wearing those same grease stained jeans. ... .. . It was an honor to have known the man!! Deepest condolences to the family. May he rest in peace - I wonder what heavenly mechanical project him & dad will be banging & clanging on now

I remember playing pool with Grandpa, bowling, fishing, and milking bossy. Grandpa also gave me my first taste of a beer. He drank Hams beer and I thought that anything that had all those cartoon animals advertising it on TV must taste great. He tried to tell me I wouldn't like it. Boy was he right! You will be missed!
