More detail on this person: Albert Fletcher
Bullard III, 67, son of the late Albert Fletcher
Bullard Jr. and Westa Wilkins Bullard of DeFuniak
Springs, Fla., died March 7, 2012, at his farm in
Mossy Head, Fla.
Albert was a man of many interests and a curious
mind. He was an Eagle Scout, a graduate of Auburn
University, where he received a bachelor's degree
in business, and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
social fraternity. He served in the Army and was a
Vietnam veteran. He led a life of varying business
interests, including banking, real estate
development and yacht brokerage. Being
unemployed in Hilton Head Island, S.C., lead to a
nine-month sail in the Bahamas with his first
wife, Anne Bruce Atkinson Bullard, of Somerville,
N.C., on "Sunburst." Returning to Hilton Head, he
started Lighthouse Yacht Brokerage and spent
many years living aboard his sailboat, Wax Arrow,
and selling yachts to people that came as
customers and remained friends for years. He had a
great knack for collecting interesting people and
keeping up with them.
One of the highlights of his young life was being
a counselor and scuba dive instructor at Camp
Crusoe on the island of Tobago in 1965. He was
talking about the importance of this camp in the
last days of his life! A second extended sail
brought him to Fort Lauderdale, which he called
home for many years. In 2006, he relocated to the
DeFuniak Springs area where both his parents had
been born. The new life as a hay farmer brought
new friends and new skills. His lifelong love of
restoring military jeeps and shooting finally
found a home.
He is survived by his wife, Gabriele; daughter and
son-in-law, Alicia and Grant Harter of Seattle;
granddaughters, Charlotte and Caroline Harter;
sister, Ann Mosely of Seagrove Beach, Fla.;
brother, William Bullard of Santa Rosa Beach,
Fla.; and many nephews and family relatives.
The family will be receiving friends on Sunday,
March 11, at 1 p.m. at Clary-Glenn Funeral Home,
230 Park Ave., DeFuniak Springs. Interment will
follow immediately in the family plot at Magnolia
Cemetery. Gravesite services will be conducted by
the Rev. Darrin Phipps. Family and friends are
invited to gather at the Chautauqua building in
DeFuniak Springs immediately following services.
