He now reunites with his parents, Minnie Lee Bullard and Norman Ray Bullard, who preceded him in death. A graduate of Benjamin Russell High School and Auburn University, Billy proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War before dedicating 48 years of his career to the Alabama Department of Transportation as a civil engineer. A retired member of the Alabama Army National Guard, Billy exemplified discipline, perseverance, and patriotism throughout his professional life. Billy will be forever remembered for his loving, gentle, and thoughtful nature. He took immense joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren, creating lasting memories in the simplest of moments. An avid cook, his "Cheese Straws, Fruit Rock Cookies, and the Cheesy Eggs" were renowned among friends and family, a testament to his culinary passion. His personal style was unmistakable, often noted for his cowboy boots and Polo Cologne. A true sports enthusiast, Billy was a fan of Auburn Tigers Football and all Dadeville Tigers sports. He cherished the excitement of his grandchildren's sporting events. His leisure time was often spent golfing, fishing, enjoying his tobacco pipe, or taking his girls shopping-a testament to his multifaceted interests and his ever-present dedication to his family. Billy's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his spirit will continue to resonate in the principles he embodied and the love he shared. As we bid farewell to this remarkable man, we celebrate his life and the indelible impressions he's left on our hearts. Langley Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Billy Ray Bullard.
