I am eternally grateful for Dr Bull’s teachings and support of my faith while attending SCSU. I have thought of him often over the years. At SCSU he was an island in a sea of humanism always staying the course. God Bless Professor Buhl.

Guestbook
May a huge impact on me as an undergraduate at SCSU. His lectures were fantastic and enlightenin. Hung on to a suggested reading list he passed out for years. Rest in peace.
Anthony, thank you for taking Mom to mass! I know the special relationship you two had, bonded in faith and love. Two kind souls who met and shared God’s blessings!
As said by my fellow alumni, Dr. Buhl was an influential force in my college career as well. After meeting Dr. Buhl in a psychology course, I switched my major in the Applied Psych/Psych department and requested him as my advisor. He taught me so much, that I’ve used his ‘sayings’ to teach my children and anyone I’ve mentored. He introduced me to C.S. Lewis, and as a result I will continue to learn from him for years beyond his passing. Thank you for everything, Dr. Buhl. I called you once to tell you how impactful you were in my life. You didn’t remember me as well (over the phone) but I knew I wanted you to know, and I’m glad I did that. May you rest in peace.
One of the most influential professors in my university experience. I think of him often.
I will miss you Friend Anthony. You have been a wonderful friend. God bless you really good.
