Mr. and Mrs. Bullard were the salt of the earth…Best neighbors ever…They’d bring treats to the kids while they were up in the tree house…they’d give gigantic Nestle’s chocolate bars to them for Halloween…Hordie and his wife were always there for us…and they personified that good old hometown quality when they visited their summer home in Orange City, Florida…People like Horace will be surely missed…but we hope to continue their kindness legend,,Our utmost love to their grandchildren and family…one of whom persisted until he found us and could share the news of Hordie’s passing…
May Mr. Bullard Rest In Peace and may we continue to remember him as a role model and continue his legend…GOD BLESS Mr. Bullard.
