Family and friends of a missing Pennsylvania teacher came together Sunday to hold a vigil for his safe return.
A vigil for Chris Tully was held at 5 p.m. at the baseball field on Guinea Lane in Jamison, Pennsylvania.
No one has seen Tully since he jumped out of his parent's car along the City Avenue Bridge near East Falls on Tuesday morning. The 40-year-old award-winning technology teacher has been battling depression and was on the way to get help when he ran.
"We miss him, we love him and we want him to come home," C.J. Tully told NBC10 Saturday. The 12-year-old is the oldest of the missing man's three sons. "He's a really good person and he helps others a lot."
The boys said their father loves to play sports and teach them new techniques in football, baseball and soccer.
"I want him to come home so we can do more stuff together," Sean Tully, another son, said. "He plays games and teaches us stuff."
Chris Tully spent the last 12 years teaching at the Middle Bucks Institute of Technology. His work earned him an outstanding teaching award by a statewide organization.
