July 1, 1945 – November 6, 2026

Robert Cummings Lull passed away on November 6, 2026, at the age of 81, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, service, creativity, and a love for the simple beauties of life.

Robert lived a life shaped by education, adventure, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for the world around him. As a young man, he was actively involved in the Boy Scouts, where he achieved the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout and was also a member of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society. These experiences reflected his commitment to leadership, service, perseverance, and helping others.

Robert also served in the Peace Corps, dedicating his time and talents to helping others and making a difference beyond his own community. His commitment to education continued throughout his life. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education and taught school in both Sisseton, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania, sharing his knowledge and making a lasting impact on the lives of his students.

Outside of teaching, Robert found fulfillment in building and creating. He began his career as a custom home builder, taking pride in designing and constructing homes. He later transitioned from home building into estimating, continuing to use his knowledge, experience, and attention to detail in the construction industry.

Robert was a talented woodworker who enjoyed working with his hands. In addition to his woodworking projects, he made beautiful cabinets and furniture, creating pieces that were both useful and lasting. His craftsmanship reflected his patience, creativity, and pride in making something special.

Robert had a special appreciation for the outdoors and nature. He was passionate about flowers and birds, enjoying their beauty and the peaceful moments they brought. He also enjoyed fishing and bicycling, finding happiness in time spent outside and enjoying the world around him.

Robert will be remembered for his many talents, his dedication to his work, his spirit of service, and the many ways he shared his gifts with others. The things he taught, built, and nurtured will remain part of the legacy he leaves behind.

Robert is survived by his sister, Carolyn Lull Unkel; his sons, Thomas (wife Jennifer) and Jonathan Lull; his grandchildren, Paiza, Jared, and Aubree; along with many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

May Robert’s memory bring comfort to those who loved him and peace to those who will remember him in the days to come.

May he rest in peace, surrounded by the beauty of the flowers, the songs of the birds, and the lasting things he built throughout his life.
