Johnny Bulla

Dear Barbara & Family,

I was so sad when I found out about Johnny leaving us. I loved Johnny very much. Taking care of him was such a honor. He taught me so much about his love of Golf. And he also reminded me how great life was. I loved when he would call and tell me a couple of jokes. And we would just laugh. He really loved a good joke. But he loved his children more. Alsways telling me stories and showing me pictures his kids when they were little. You all meant the world...

Dear Barbara & Family,

I was so sad when I found out about Johnny leaving us. I loved Johnny very much. Taking care of him was such a honor. He taught me so much and of course the history of Golf and how great life was. How much he loved his children. Showed me pictures of his kids when they were little. You all meant the world to him and he was proud of all of you. In some ways I see Johnny as an older man but in others so very young. I just wanted to let you know that Johnny...

My cousin Don Bulla and I visited Johnny in April of 2003. When we got to his door, he said "get in here and give your cousin a big kiss! We had lunch at the Ocotillo
Golf Club and had a lovely visit. He talked of his love for his family, and what it meant to him to
have you all around, and his grandchildren to love him. He gave me his phone number and I would call
once a month on a Saturday morning.
He would answer with "Hello Joan, I'm glad you called." He was a...

Dear Barbara

I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny a year ago this past March. with a cousin of mine from San Jose, CA. Joan Sonsini and I visited with Johnny at his home in Chandler. Johnny was a most entertaining host. I could listen to Johnny for hours.

Since I am interested in the Bulla Family genealogy I really enjoyed Johnny tell us about his side of the Bulla family. I think he enjoyed chatting with someone from Randolph Co., NC, as he had previously lived...

My grandfathers passing was like the door closing on my childhood. I will always have the memories and it will always make up a part of who I am. Pop pop dying doesn't mean he is gone, it means he lives on through us.

Dear Barbara,

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your Father Johnny Bulla. Kim has told me so much about her Grandfather and I truly wished that I could have had the honor of meeting him.

Over the Holidays Kim showed me the scrapbook of your Father and his Golfing career. What a treasure to have.

You have all been blessed with such a wonderful person in your lives.

May God Bless and Keep you all.

With Love Irene...

I met John through his daughter Barbara a real estate associate of mine. Barb knew through office talk that I enjoyed playing golf so when the Fedigans legend tournament came to Orange Tree, she invited Dawn Johnson and I to go to the tournament to watch her dad and a whole group of players, play the tournament. That was a thrill in itself to meet John and Sam Snead. I later asked John to be my guest celebrity in a golf tournament that I was running he graciously accepted. Of course I put him...
