My sincere sympathy to all of the family. I worked for and with Dr. Tullis for 23 years and I remember him fondly.
Dr. Tullis was such a kind and encouraging man. He was my dentist from my childhood until he left his private practice. He was extremely encouraging and generous. A few days before my wedding 6 years ago, I had a lot of pain and ended up needing two root canals and several cavities filled. It was a tricky situation that frustrated him because more problems kept popping up and my mouth wasn’t numbing the way it should. He moved so many appointments around and tried new techniques and was so dedicated to helping me. Not only did he go out of his way to help, but he never charged me for the bill AND financially supported me monthly as I served children in India. He always talked about His love for God and for his granddaughter Amanda. He talked about Amanda with such a high level of respect and was so thrilled and proud of her when they chose to create a space in their home for him to live. I always left appointments with him inspired and feeling thankful as his thankful heart and attitude overflowed. What a joy it was to know him.
My condolences to the whole family.
My husband graduated from high school with Byron and they were lifelong friends. Byron was our dentist until the time he retired. I regret that I am in Colorado and unable to attend the service. My love and prayers to all of the family. Dorothy Matzke

Condolences to the family. Dr. Tullis was my family’s dentist when I was growing up. He was always very nice and smiled. If kids were good in the chair we were allowed to select a toy from his treasure chest. He enjoyed telling stories about his kids. He had a nice smile and a laugh. I am sure he is running into many former patients in Heaven. Yes, he was a good guy. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
