He was a force to be reckoned with and his reputation preceded him. He was a hard knocks police officer that was remembered by all, "The Good, Bad and the In Between". George worked as a general contractor and then started Bullen Detective Agency from 1975 until 1999. His cases made local and national news; one in particular was featured on Unsolved Murders.

He was a lifetime member of Five Points Fire Co. and was a member of Diamond State VFW. George was also a Boy Scout Leader, President of the Christiana Lions Club, a big card player and a regular at DAP on Wednesday Nights. He was an avid hunter and made many trips to Colorado and Wyoming to hunt with his sister's family. George spent his summers at Crystal Beach, MD, eating crabs, drinking cold duck, and watching the sunset over Turkey Pointe. He also loved vacationing on St. John USVI. His biggest joy for the past 21 years were his 5 grandchildren.
He was predeceased in death by his daughter, Susan Gail Bullen; parents, Lillian Burk Bullen and George H. Bullen, Sr.; brother, Raymond "Chick" Bullen; and sister, Jeanette Anderson. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, George B. Bullen (Jennifer); daughter, Lauren K.
