Albert Bullock

I first met Al at the USS Franklin Reunion in Pensacola Florida. My wife's father served on the USS Franklin and was one of the wounded when the ship was attacked. As I made acquaintance with those at the reunion, I noticed this gentleman with a Nikon camera around his neck. I introduced myself to him and we discussed our equipment. I've always been a Canon man and Al was a Nikon man. As we talked, I started to learn who this man was and the huge impact he made by filming and taking pictures...

I was saddened to hear about my long time friend's passing. I first met Al in the mid 1990's when we worked closely with others on preserving the San Juan Canyon open space (last 100 acres in town).

The planet has lost a truly great man with the passing of Al Bullock whom I met in 1965 when he was at KGO and I worked at United Artists, both on the same Golden Gate Ave block.

I send my heartfelt condolences to his children whom I met when they were little and to all the rest of Al's family. Rest in peace, Al. I'll never forget...

Dearest Candace & Bob - I'm sorry to hear about your Poppa's but what a long amazing life he had and so much he contributed. Blessings to you both, my SMHS pals
