George Jerry Bullard passed away peacefully surrounded by his family Monday, June 7, 2010, after a stunningly brief battle with pancreatic cancer. He rejoins his beloved wife, Frances Wren Bullard. Funeral: 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Luke United Methodist Church. Interment: Mount Olivet Cemetery. Visitation: The family will receive friends 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Lucas Funeral Home, 517 N. Sylvania. Jerry was born May 9, 1924, in Bosque County, weighing a whopping 12 pounds, according to the cotton scale. For several years after retirement, Jerry ran a family business, Ceramics by George, with his wife and his more artistic daughters. He thoroughly enjoyed pouring and cleaning the ceramics, but his favorite part was to attend craft shows and converse with both the customers and the other vendors. Jerry spent most of his time on his hobby local sports and college football. He loved TCU football and was a diehard fan since the 1930s. He also enjoyed watching the Rangers and the Mavericks, and he turned into a Cowboys fan when Jerry Jones hired Barry Switzer, and was very fond of the Western Channel and loved to watch old Westerns. After the sudden death of his wife in 1998, we all worried that he wouldn't survive long without her, but he eventually was able to adapt to life on his own. He loved his family and he was always there for any of us when we needed him. We will all miss him, but we are happy that he was able to join those who passed before on the other side. He was preceded in death by his wife, Frances Wren Bullard; his mother, Bula Bullard; his older brothers, Sam and Jack Gibson Bullard; and his son-in-law, Greg Norris. Survivors: Daughters, Sammye Jorge and her husband, Edward, Beth Price, Randy Norris and Janie Bullard; grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Edward and Jan Jorge, Cary and Jolene Jorge, Lisa Price. Amanda and Brandon Fuqua, Daniel Norris, John, Emmitt Crews, Cord Jorge, Kira Haley and Stella Haley; and his cat, Bob.

His military separation papers have place of birth as Moran, Texas. He was working at North American Aviation in Grand Prairie on 30 Jun 1942 when he submitted his WWII registration form which has his place of birth as Moran, Eastland County, Texas. (Moran is officially in Shackelford County but Shackelford County's south east corner and Eastland County's north west corner touch just north of Highway 6. Moran was closer than Cisco so he probably put Eastland County to make it simple.) Jerry entered service with the Army Air Corps 22 Sep 1942 at Camp Wolters. His separation papers list his military occupational specialty as an "AP (Airframe & Powerplant) & Engine Mechanic 747" (meaning he could do just about anything on a plane). Jerry separated from the 3508th Army Air Forces on 26 Nov 1945 at Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin with the rank of Corporal.
