ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Forty-six years ago, Leo Bullen gave up his life when he offered his life-jacket to a small child as a fire raged around them on the schooner Delroy, sinking the ship and claiming the lives of nine people.
But until recently, the family of the Newfoundland man had no idea about the selfless acts that marked his final hours.
Chris Bullen, Leo’s son, approached the Canadian Red Cross after hearing about his father’s life-saving actions and on Tuesday, the organization honoured Leo Bullen with a posthumous rescuer’s award.
