He was born on March 6, 1927, the fifth child of Lee and Elizabeth Tully of High Bluff. He was part of the family farm until 1958, when he stepped out to farm on his own, retiring in 1998. In November 2006 they moved off the farm and into an apartment in Portage la Prairie, where he resided until the time of his passing.

He was a member of the local camp of Gideons International since 1982 and he also served on the Portage Community Pasture Board.
