On behalf of the Koo Wee Rup St Sofia Committee, we offer our sincere condolences to all of the Bull family on the passing of David. He was a very honourable man who generously supported our Festival. He will be sadly missed by all…
Fond memories from the St Sofia Committee at Koo Wee Rup.
To our Grandpa,
The world seems a little more dim without your guiding light. A simple, humble, funny, charming, empathic, generous, one of a kind, the list could continue but most importantly nice man. Whom was filled with so much love.
Our memories with you will be forever cherished, there will forever be stories to tell. You leave behind the most incredible legacy, which we are so so proud of. I don’t think many could say they’ve achieved half the things you have. Thank you for your sacrifice, dedication and gambles without it, I wouldn’t be doing what I am today. We will carry your legacy the best we can and forever speak your name.
I will miss the simple things the most. Hearing you coming down the hall, helping you, your phone ringing, our fiery debates, memorable fishing trips on the boat, listening to you laughing with the kids, the rustle of the brown bag full of lollies, eating your roast pork but most of all I will miss the amazing you.
Life goes on, the world keeps spinning even though what we know will never be the same. You put up the a courageous fight until the end. May you now be at rest, until we meet again one day.
I love you, your forever sweetheart Louise,
Mater, Annabelle and Paddy.

Over the last couple of years working for Bully, we built a friendship that we will forever cherish. You were a top bloke. From the fishing charters to helping you with that “stupid f**ing computer,” all the little things you did is something we will miss in the office.
Your legacy is something that we will always remember. It’s hard to imagine work without you. You weren’t just a boss, you were a mate, and we both are grateful to have had the chance to work alongside you.
Katie and Liam
Uncle David you are very much loved and will be missed, you were always fun to be around, lots of laughs and there are so many funny things you have done. You were very caring, thoughtful, generous and you always gave your time to others. You have accomplished so much and have worked really hard for it. Family was everything to you and you would be there for anyone at anytime if we needed you. You have always been there for me and especially through the hardest time of my life, I will forever be grateful and so lucky to have had you in my life. I will always remember our fishing trips, your driving and your jokes. Our family get togethers will never be the same without you. We will have plenty of stories to tell about you and I am sure you will be spoken about each time.
Lots of love to Aunty Betsie, Melissa, Tony, Louise, Ben, Thomas and families. Morelle, Ed, Will, Pete and Claudia.

Deepest condolences to Betsie , Melissa , Tony and families. Morelle , Ed and families. Bully was a humble man with a vision and bought it to fruition with hard work and dedication from Betsie , Melissa , Tony and family. Away from work Bully loved fishing , so many great memories. Bully’s sense of humour was legendary. He loved practical jokes , if he succeeded his eyes would water , he would salivate and break into a huge belly laugh . Can you smell that fertiliser on Asparagus farm ? Rest in peace mate we miss you heaps already .
Uncle David, you were truly one of a kind. Your generosity and kindness were always qualities that I wanted to have in myself growing up because I seen how much a room lit up when you arrived. Your funny stories, your love for those around you and your questionable boat skills are all things I will miss so much. I’ll love you forever, Ebb xxx
Uncle David, you were truly one in a million. You always had a welcoming smile and hug and never missed an opportunity to make everyone around you feel loved and special. There are so many things we can say but mostly we wanted to say thank you for loving our girls as much as you did. You will be very missed and family gatherings will never be the same. Thank you for all the laughs, love you always David and Raelene xoxoxo
Life won’t be the same without you. No words will ever be enough to describe the amazing person you were.
You warmed everyones hearts. The positive energy and impact you had on everyone’s life never ceased to amaze me.
Uncle David you were the most genuine, generous, kind, selfless and loving person.
I’m going to miss our chats and mandatory ice creams.
Your laughter was electric, it lit up the room. I loved the sound and it’ll be missed.
Thank you for loving me as much as I loved you
Love always Tay
Sincere sympathy to Betsie & family on the sad
passing of David. Treasure the happy memories of your life together.

Dave, fond memories of our early days in our teens and twenties, hanging out at the servos you worked at in Carrum and Frankston, road trip to Queensland, we may have not had much contact recently but will never forget you, Trevor.
Beautiful memories of dear David. Such a kind and funny man. Thank you so much for all the laughs we shared. A true gentleman. ❤️ Chionia
I am so saddened to see someone that I cared and respected has passed away, I so wanted to come to your funeral today, but was unable. I remember when my dad passed away and my family wanted me to take dad’s glasses to put on him. Who was there to great me but the loveable Bully to give me the biggest hug and tell me I could do this. I am going to miss you so much. Beautiful service xxxx
Dear Betsie & Family,
We are sorry to hear the sad news of Davids passing. He was a local legend. David provided a great service to our family over the course of 4 family members funerals. He will be sadly missed by all. R.I.P. David.
Dearest Betsie, Melissa and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of David’s passing. David was a great friend of my dad (Steve) for over 25 years. There was no such thing as a quick visit to David’s, Dad would disappear for hours; I can only imagine the BULLshit they were talking.
Such a terrific man, and the best storyteller you’d meet. I remember with great fondness catching up with David and Betsie about 18 months ago, and the funny stories David told of his years in the funeral business – stories I’ve shared time and time again. If only David wrote a book.
David provided such comfort to so many families in sad times. Always professional and so genuinely caring. A huge loss to his family, friends and the wider Pakenham community.
with love, Mel and the Hall Family xx
