ROCKY MOUNT - Lee Roy "Scott" Bulluck, age 88, passed away on Sunday, February 3, 2019. Born in Rocky Mount, NC on September 29, 1930, he was the son of the late Franklin Pierce Bulluck and Mamie Jane Simmons Bulluck. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, Frank Jr., Richard, and Benjamin Bulluck.
In 1951, Scott enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the Korean War as a military police officer before honorably discharging to the U.S. Army Reserves in 1953. As a longtime member of Temperance Hall United Methodist Church, Scott sang in the choir and served as the Chairman of the Board of the Administrative Council for over 50 years. He was a charter member of the Temperance Hall Ruritan Club where he happily cooked pigs, stirred stew, sold calendars, and held various leadership roles during his 52-year tenure. Scott began working at Moore's Bicycle Shop in Rocky Mount in 1953 where he repaired bikes, rods and reels, and motors of all kinds as the maintenance mechanic. He purchased the shop in 1986, and continued working in the shop alongside his wife, Ethel, even after he sold it to the Warrens in 1999. When Scott wasn't at the bicycle shop, you could find him working in his grapevines and gardens, making his famous LRB wine, and sitting under his gazebo watching his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews enjoy the family pool where many members of the Temperance Hall Community learned to swim, and were even baptized.
Scott leaves behind his loving and cherished wife of over 65 years, Ethel Wallace Bulluck; and his beloved and devoted daughter, Vivian Bulluck Edmondson and husband, Mike, all of Rocky Mount. His most lasting legacy though, is his grandchildren: grandsons, Joshua Michael Edmondson and wife, Lauren, of Cape Carteret, and Jordan Lee Edmondson and wife, Shannon, of Rocky Mount; great-grandchildren, Sawyer Lang, Karlie Elizabeth, and Brody Scott; and brother, Robert Herman Bulluck.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. May all of your good memories be greater than your sadness during this difficult time. (Isaiah 258)
May the Lord Continue to be with your family during this challenging time. Please take comfort in your wonderful memories and the time you shared with him.
To Josh, Vivian & family! I did not know or meet Mr. Bullock, but I know Vivian (daughter) & Josh Edmondson (grandson), Mr. Bullock would be considered one of those exceptional men that loved his family intensely. When a father raises two fine adults such as Vivian & Josh and they have the ability to love and be loved and also the faith to give unselfishly of themselves to others asking for nothing in return you know that they have had an exceptional role model such as Mr. Bullock to call father & grandfather. I have heard stories of his unwavering faith and devotion to his wife and family so many times from Josh that I feel as though I have known him and admired him without ever physically meeting him. Absent from the body & present with the Lord, I know that Mr. Bullock is cheering his family on to run the race of faith. God Bless you all! Gail KnappTown of Emerald Isle, NC
I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for the entire family. Jeff Baines

I am so sorry for your loss. May God grant each one of you the peace that only He can give.
My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time and the days ahead (2 Corinthians 13,4)
