My dad, Robert “Bobby” Mull passed away today (1/9/23). He did not want to have a service after he passed, so I wanted to share here what I would have shared with folks there about my memories of my dad but mostly focusing on all the things I’m grateful for. We grew apart over the last 5 years or so but I was able to spend a bit more time with him over the last 6 months while he was in a nursing home. I’m thankful I got to share a lot of this with him over that time so he knew I appreciated him. If you have a fun story with Bobby, I’d love you to share it in the comments below!

My parents got divorced when I was 2, so I really have no memory of life with them together. My memories of my dad are mainly from the weekends I spent with him and time during summer vacation. I remember being excited for those weekends because we always seemed to do something fun or have some adventure. I especially remember the years he was single and it was just him and me on guys weekends.

I remember our fishing trips, jet ski adventures, visits to gun shows, taking in figure 8 racing, squirrel hunting, paoli peaks ski nights, dirt bike rides, midnight White Castle runs, crazy euchre games, listening to your fire fighter scanner, river rope swings, water skiing, fish fries, cross town bicycle rides, trap shooting nights with grandpa, doing doughnuts in the snow, your passion for being a fire fighter, your love of my kiddos and so much more.

Thank you Dad!
