On Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016, I lost my best friend and soulmate, PHILLIP BULLINGTON. We lived, loved and shared 53 wonderful years together to say I will miss him is almost more than I can bear. Our journey started together while we both were in college, his height and good looks attracted me. As I got to know Phil his wonderful sense of humor and positive outlook on life made me realize I wanted to be with him the rest of my life. Our journey started with Phil enlisting in the US Army and through them became an X-ray technician and with that position, we traveled to Alaska after our marriage in June 1965. We spent two years there and enjoyed the beautiful state. From there we were assigned to Europe for six wonderful years. Phil worked at a "small" hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, not so small now. Getting out of the Army in 1969, we became "civilians" and made our home in Santa Barbara, Calif. Phil then went to work at Cottage Hospital in the X-ray department as a technician and assistant chief of the department. We spent 10 wonderful years there before Phil joined the Eastman Kodak Company in 1980. His knowledge of film, sales and X-ray, made him a "natural" in marketing Kodak film etc. Being with a large company, we again traveled to many places. Of course, Rochester, N.Y., and then on to Whittier, Calif. Our last stop while working was Dallas, Texas. While living in Texas, we vacationed in Arkansas because of the beautiful state with all the lakes, trees and nature. We built a home and loved the state and its wonderful people. While living here, Phil accepted the Lord. With a diagnosis of cancer, he became strong, knowing that the Lord was at his side. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to: National Cancer Institute c/o "Cancer Moonshot", BG 9609MSC 9760, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Bethesda, Md. 20892-9760, (Joe Biden Project). A memorial service will be held at a later date. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com.
