Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Its hard to believe its been 26 years. I still remember that day, that call. I was on my way to Little League and was at the intersection when these careless teens went flying through and right behind them was our community hero. Your actions probably saved the lives of others along that busy road, with lots of kids just like me going to little league and families going out to enjoy a spring day.

We will never forget your sacrifice to our community. This year we will award the first ever Jeffrey Lee Bull Memorial Scholarship to a young man or woman from Lebanon who wants to go into public safety, just like you.

You were a role model to many, including myself. May you and your wife watch over your beautiful family and our entire community. We will again honor you this year with our community festival, and to continue the scholarship in your name.

Forever grateful for your sacrifice to protect and serve our community.

We honor the memory of Jeff today on the 25th anniversary of our loss. Jeff was a wonderful friend to everyone that knew him but he was also so much more to his family and our community. We prefer to celebrate Jeff's life and the happy memories. He was always smiling and playing jokes and just so much fun to be around. With love and respect to Jeff and to his family. Jeff will never be forgotten.
Forever in our hearts.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 25th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. I think it is wonderful that your community is paying homage to you.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Rest In Peace.

Uncle Jeff,
You would be so proud of your community today! They have proved you will never be forgotten. I think of you everyday and my 2 boys have been asking about you a lot lately. I show them your picture and tell them all the fun stories of times that I was blessed to have with you. Even never have met you before, they say they would have loved you! I have realized this year I am 35, the same age you were when you passed away. This is hitting home for me, realizing how young you really were and how young your daughters were. You would be so proud of them today. They are raising beautiful families too and I can see they are just as strong as you are! There is this social network today called "Facebook" and there is a "LIKE" button on it...and you would be pressing LIKE, LIKE, LIKE on it!! I miss you uncle Jeff. You will never be forgotten in my life. Your Lebanon community is holding a celebration for you on May 19th...this is my oldest sons 14th birthday...and he is excited about this! THIS is his party he said :) We all love and miss you. Give Papa and Uncle Robbie a high 5 for us up there. Love you!

Thinking of Jeff today and thought I would drop a quick note to let his family know he is not forgotten. Jeff and I were roomates at the Police Academy in Waterville many years ago. I was always impressed with his commitment to his girls and that's all that he would ever talk about. He loved his girls very much. Many fond memories of Jeff.

Well, it has been 24 years since I last saw you. I miss you everyday and love you so much. You were the best father anyone could ever have and I am so honored to have you as my father as you were such a giving and loving person to all, not just your family.

I wish you and mom were here to see your granddaughters, Isabella who is 6 years old and Madelyn who is 17 months. They are just beautiful and I tell them all about their grandpa and grandma who are heaven.

I love you always!

I remember so many things and hold them deep in my heart. You were the BEST big brother, had the biggest heart, so compassionate, so...SO funny...keeping laughter and love in our home...no wonder God needed you as an Angel so soon.

The Lebanon Selectmen took a moment during their scheduled workshop on Friday, May 7th, 2010 to remember Lebanon Police Officer Jeffrey Lee Bull, who was tragically killed in the line of duty 23 years ago on Sunday May 9th. Officer Bull was killed while trying to stop a 14 and 15 year old that had allegedly stole a van and were involved in a high speed chase.

“We never want to forget that Officer Bull gave his life to protect the citizens of Lebanon and even 23 years after the tragic accident, we are grateful for his service to our community. Officer Bull was very active in the community and has been missed by many people who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are still with his daughters Rebecca and Alyssa and the rest of his family.” Lebanon Selectman Jason Cole stated on behalf of the Board of Selectmen.

Selectmen will visit the sign designating the soccer fields located between the Town Office and the Hanson School as the Jeffrey Lee Bull Memorial Fields to place flowers in rememberence of the ultimate sacrifice that Officer Bull paid for the community.

Many people still remember that tragic day and the ultimate sacrifice he made to protect our community. Though I was only 11 when he was killed, I remember we were on our way to Woods Auto Body to play baseball in Little League. I remember reading so much about Jeff and his community service, and the next year when I was 12 and able to join the fire department, I did. I have been a volunteer for 22 years in town now and Jeff’s committment to the community I have tried to mirror throughout my tenure.

As a selectmen, the whole town owes so much to your brother and the family for his unselfish acts to protect our citizens. I was honored to post this and make sure that new residents moving into town know of the tremendous job Jeff did.

There are some other residents who have posted on the Lebanon Rescue Facebook in memory of your brother.

Though it will be a sad memorial, I want to do something in 2 years on the 25th anniversary. As you think about your brother everyday, so do many residents in town who were fortunate enough to have met him or heard about his community service. We will never forget Jeff.

Here is the facebook site to read some more residents memories

God bless you and your family and thank you for sharing Jeff with the community.

It will be 23 years on May 9th that Jeff has been gone. How we have all missed him! I hope he knows that he now has 3 grandsons, 1 especially who looks a lot like him when he was that age, and 2 granddaughters. I know he would have loved to meet all of them. RIP, Jeff.... we love you and miss you so much.

Thinking of you today..and every day. Today is the day of the week you left us. I have been watching from a distance your 5 wonderful grandchildren grow, and have seen how your 2 daughters have blossomed into beautiful women.

You are always in my heart and are missed. We still use your recipes, we still laugh about your pranks, we cry for your sorrows.....you still warm us.

Dad,

Where do I begin....it's been so long. I'm sorry about that, but this is extremely difficult still to this very day. I'm 31 years old now. I think of mom and you all the time. You were such a wonderful father. I still remember you dressing up as Santa, riding in parades with you, helping at the subshop, catching fire flies while you were at the Fire Dept having meetings, Halloween parties, seeing you graduate from the police academy and so much more. You were such a hard worker. Which is one of the reasons why I think Becky and I are such hard workers. Before I was married, many people would see my last name which is pretty original in this area and they would ask, "Was your father...." I would say, "Yes". They would say what a wonderful, funny, giving person you were and would continue telling me a story of something you did that touched their lives. I was ALWAYS very proud that you helped and touched so many peoples lives, but must admitted that after they were gone...I would usually cry. Only because I wished you were still here and that I could have had more than 9 years of memories--I cherish each memory that I do have.

As you were looking down on us I'm sure you were very happy with how Gram & Pepe took care of us after you were taken from us. They were always there for us, encouraged us, and supported us just like you and mom would have done.

I graduated from UNH with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science and have been working at the same hospital going on 11 years. I'm married to the love of my life, a wonderful man that I have been with for 14 years. You would love him...he's very hardworking, dedicated, a wonderful father and treats me extremely well. We have one daughter 4 years old, Isabella Kathryn. She is beautiful, funny, smart and just perfect--she would just melt both you and mom. I told her today was your birthday and she said, "I bet they are having birthday parties for him in heaven". I told her, "I'm sure they are". And we are also expecting another little girl Christmas Day!

Becky is also doing extremely well. We are very close. She is married and has 3 boys.

I wish that mom and you were here to see and play with all your grandkids--you would just love it. I know that you both are looking down on us and seeing your grandchildren grow. Until next time I love you and think of you often.

Remembering my brother on his birthday. Time passes quickly in some ways, and slowly without him in my life. Today he would have been 58 years young. Today I shed tears in sorrow, today I shed tears of love. Remembering all the sweet things he did for me, the compassion in his heart, his humor that would always get me laughing. He would always come to my rescue even as a child...little things and big things..he was there to make it all ok.

You are in my heart, you are in my soul, you are with me everyday.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Jeff just before his death. I left Maine for Pennsylvania in March 1987, and received the sad news while attending PA police academy. It is with great sadness that I still think of him and the girls he left behind. May his memory never be forgotten.

Jeff,
I left a message on Saturday but guess it never got posted. You would love all the new cell phones and computers. You would have all the latest models. You loved new things. It has been 22 years since we lost you. We all miss you and all the fun you made. You now have 4 Grandchildren who are all so cute. You would be so proud of them and your girls. We think of you all the time and whenever something funny happens we mention things you used to do to make us laugh. A school friend of yours passed away last week and I bet you are having a good time catching up on old times.
We Love You and Miss You.
Love, Roxanne,Tom and Family

It's been a long time Jeff. I think of you often. My children asked me to tell them a "Police Story" the other day. I talk with them often about police work. Well, I told them about you...that Saturday, the morning you gave your life, the last words we spoke on the radio, how we honored you, how I cried. I told them about our friendship as well as a few fun stories. Just thought I'd let you know.
