In the early morning hours on June 19, 2024 in Floresville, Texas, Lester Bullock, devoted husband and father, joined his Lord in heaven. Unfortunately, Mr. Bullock lost his loving and devoted companion of 34+ years when his beloved wife, MaryHelen (Cruz) Bullock, preceded him to heaven on August 28, 2023. As an adventurous couple, Lester and MaryHelen loved traveling throughout the southern states visiting National and State Parks, ghost towns, casinos, and camping in their RV. Lester had an infectious smile and an ever-present story or joke at the ready; some more appropriate and less-colorful than others. They made friends easily and always welcomed strangers to their church and home. Lester loved woodworking, gardening, and treasure hunting via rummage sales and storage unit auctions. At one point, he filled three barns and storage buildings with his “treasures.” Lester retired from active duty in the United States Air Force on June 30, 1972 after serving 21-years in various administration support positions across military locations ranging from Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Germany, and Japan. Upon retiring from the Air Force, Lester continued his service to the nation as a career logistician for multiple Department of Defense agencies in Texas and New Mexico until fully retiring to Leakey, Texas in 1990. Moving to San Antonio, Texas in December 1999, Lester and MaryHelen were active in St Paul’s Catholic Church where he served as a Fourth Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus. He was born on January 27, 1933 in Jayess, Mississippi to William Bullock and Vera Mae (Lambert) Bullock. Lester was preceded in death by his brothers Willie, Sam, Dean, Billy, and Edward; sons, Michael, Charles and Mark; and daughter, Lori. He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, David and Annie Bullock; step-son Derek Wesler and his wife Karen; step-daughter Linda Wesler and her wife Maureen; brother, Elton Bullock; sister, Bonnie Faye (Bullock) King, and numerous grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. SERVICES Visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 from 5:00pm-7:00pm, with a Rosary at 6:00pm at Mission Park Funeral Chapels Medical Center. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, July 11, 2024 at 10:00am at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 350 Sutton, San Antonio, Texas 78228. Interment will follow at Ft.
