Glen Dale Bullock passed from this life on July 21, 2016 in Springfield, Missouri. Glen was born on June 14, 1930, 'Flag Day', as he told everyone, to Leroy and Flo Bullock, of Vermillion, Kansas. He married Betty Lee Wiseman in Topeka, Kansas on July 14, 1950.
He graduated high school in Vermillion, Kansas, where he played basketball and football and was an excellent student.
He was drafted into the Army for the Korean War, but was medically discharged. He then used his G.I. Bill to attend college at Washburn University in Topeka and graduated from Kansas State University in 1958 as a top engineering student with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Glen worked for Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Air Force as an engineer. His work took him all over the world and he was fortunate to visit the Middle East, Japan, the Philippines and Europe. Some of his and Betty's favorite years were spent in England where they investigated antique shops, drove the countryside, toured castles and great estates, ate pub lunches and had afternoon tea.
After his retirement in 1993 in Highland, Illinois, he and Betty moved to Springfield in 2000 to be close to anticipated grandchildren. He lost Betty in 2003, but found a great friend and companion at a Hospice grieving class, Ruth Foster. Together they shared these last years and were there for each other. Glen loved to tinker on projects, work around the house, and was a prodigious collector of tools, antiques, cars and items with value only he could see.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Betty, and his brothers Bob and Gale.
