HARRINGTON - Roger E. Bullock Sr., of Harrington, died Sunday, Jan. 2, 2011, at home surrounded by his loving family, from complications of Agent Orange exposure during his tours in Vietnam. He was 60 years old. He was born to the late William Elmer Bullock and Ruth Bullock of Harrington. Mr. Bullock graduated from the Harrington High School in 1968. In July of the same year, he was drafted in the US Army, where he served his country proudly in the Vietnam War. He was part of the 40th Infantry Division, stationed in Cambodia, and served out one and a half tours. After his honorable discharge, Roger returned to the family farm with his father and brothers. For over 30 years, he helped maintain poultry houses, and worked hard every day of his life. He accomplished a lot on the farm mainly alongside his brother Michael. His most favorite thing to do on the farm was making hay. He could drive the stack wagon better than anyone around, and he had a knack for producing the best produce in his yearly garden. Roger will be remembered as having a kind gentle heart. He always looked for the good in every situation and the best in everyone. He could be generous to a fault, but more than willing to give you the shirt off of his back. He made countless friends over the years, and no one can say a harsh word about him. He kept his wonderful dry sense of humor even up to the day he passed. He loved his family tremendously, especially his children and grandchildren. He will be sorely missed. Roger was a member of the Harrington Moose Lodge #534, and the American Legion. In addition to his mother, he is survived by Sharon Bullock of Harrington; son, Roger E. Bullock Jr. of Harrington; daughter, Heather B. Vickery of Harrington; brothers, Donald L. Bullock of Harrington, and Michael W. Bullock of Harrington; grandchildren, Peyton Marie Bullock, Austen M. Vickery, Ava L. Vickery, Shelby Bowman with whom he helped raise. Memorial services were Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011, at 1 p.m. in the Melvin Funeral Home, 15522 South DuPont Hwy., Harrington. Visitation was one hour prior to the service In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Seasons Hospice, 556 S. Dupont Hwy., Suite 1, Milford, DE 19963.
