Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are mourning the sudden death of their Labasa leader Richard Bull.

Mr Bull, 46, died in Labasa last Saturday.

He had just been appointed the Labasa District president of the church last month.

A businessman, Mr Bull was born and raised in Dreketi, Macuata.

He was educated at Waikato University, Hamilton, New Zealand, where he met his wife Siainiu Fa’alogo-Bull from Samoa.

They have four children and Mrs Fa’alogo-Bull is a lawyer by profession. She said he was an excellent father and a wonderful husband and they would miss him dearly.

Mr Bull was running a family business when he died. Like all LDS Church leaders, he served voluntarily. Church leaders sustain themselves.

He will be buried in Labasa tomorrow. He is greatly missed because since he joined the church five years ago and has been a great example for members in Labasa.
