Gordon Bult, Sr., 84, passed away at home, surrounded by his loving family, on September 12, 2025. A man of deep faith and strong character, Gordon lived a life centered around hard work, loving others, and serving his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Born on August 26, 1941, in Cortland, NY, Gordon was a devoted son of Peter and Mary Bult. He remained close to his brothers — John, David, Dean, Paul “Rodney,” and Terry — and his sister, Barbara. He married his high school sweetheart, Lillian Dorothy Weyer, and they shared 64 years of a loving marriage.

Together, Gordon and Lillian raised four sons: Gordon Bult Jr. of Pembroke, NH; Darryl Bult of Manchester, NH; Darren Bult of Bow, NH; and Kevin Bult of Puebla, Mexico. Gordon was a proud father-in-love to his daughters-in-law — Rebecca, Kimberly, and Andrea — and a beloved grandfather to ten grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews, each of whom he loved dearly and guided with his steady, godly example.

Gordon’s work ethic began early as a young boy and carried through a long and successful career in retail — from selling worms to fishermen, working on farms, and caddying at the famed Grossinger’s Resort in Liberty, NY, to a 26-year career with the Woolworth Corporation. He began his Woolworth career by sweeping floors at the Monticello, NY location and eventually rose to the position of Regional Merchandise Manager, overseeing hundreds of stores across the tri-state area. Later, he moved to New Hampshire and fulfilled a lifelong dream by owning and operating three Ben Franklin stores, creating opportunities to work side by side with his family.

Gordon and his family faithfully attended Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, NH, where he was a member and served his Lord and church family tirelessly in many roles over the years.

He remained strong and disciplined throughout his life — whether jogging at dawn, golfing as much as possible with family and friends (including five holes-in-one), staying loyal to his beloved New York Yankees, serving in his church, or simply being present for those he loved. Even in his final months, Gordon’s quiet strength, deep conviction, and abiding love for Jesus Christ gave him peace and purpose.

Gordon Bult, Sr. leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, and a life of purposeful love and hard work. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Celebration of Life was held on Thursday, September 18 at 11:00 AM at Trinity Baptist Church, Concord NH.
