Gene Bullard, of North Hollywood, California, precious only son of Bill and Birdie Bullard of Kerrville, passed suddenly from this life on the evening of May 7th while jogging in Los Angeles. He was 60.
Gene was the son of a career Air Force officer and therefore grew up in various places during the postings of his father, including two overseas assignments. He attended Denison High School, graduating in the Class of '65. He then completed the course of study at Grayson County Junior College and attended North Texas State University, before choosing to join the United States Air Force. He was sworn in by his father in early 1968 and served his country four years as a meteorologist in Germany and in Spain, during which period he also participated in the Experiment in International Living in Switzerland. Following his tour of duty he studied music and drama at the University of Texas. It was the call of a career in music which led him to Los Angeles in 1978, but he subsequently made his living there as a graphic artist and editor, working 27 years in the financial assets management sector. Gene had a lifelong interest in photography and produced an impressive body of work; in his last year he also returned to his love of music and spent much of his free time playing the piano. He is the author of one novel, The Innocent. Gene's golden voice, wry sense of humor, astute observations, infallible memory, gentle kindheartedness, his uncompromising commitment to excellence, joy in making others happy, and just plain goodness can never be replaced but will always light the hearts of those whose lives he touched.
Gene never married and is survived by his parents and his sister, Linda Bullard.
