Robert L. "Bob" Bullock

   Robert L. “Bob” Bullock, 61, of Williamsburg, Indiana, passed away on October 5, 2019 at the Dayton VA Hospice Center after a hard-fought battle with Melanoma. Bob was born on December 18, 1957 in Richmond, Indiana to O.D. Bullock and the late Phyllis Jean Kohr Suthard.
   Bob attended Northeastern and Richmond Schools, and graduated from Richmond High School in 1976. Bob served his country in the U.S. Navy from 1977-1980, where he served as a Hospital Corpsman at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. After being honorably discharged, he came home to start a family. He worked at Wayne Works and then as a pest control technician for Earlywine Pest Control for nearly 25 years, where he was widely known as “Bug Bob.” He most recently worked for the City of Richmond at the Middlefork Reservoir Service Center, where he enjoyed the beautiful morning view, sharing coffee with the regular visitors, and watching the bald eagles soar over the water. Bob was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Reds, and IU basketball. He loved to play golf and spend time outdoors.
