John H. Cull, Jr. passed away unexpectedly at his home in Nottingham, N.H. on Sunday February 3rd,.  He was born in Lowell on February 12, 1961 to the late John H. Cull and the late Jean L. (Vayo) Cull.

John attended the Peter W. Reilly and Moody Junior High Schools in Lowell and graduated from Lowell High School in 1979. He went on to attend Boston University, graduating in 1983 Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science. While at Boston University he was a member of their crew team.

member of Country Pond Fish and Game Club for many years. His annual

hunting trip, with his friend John DeYoung, was an event to which he truly looked forward.
