Edward James "Jimmy" Bullock Jr., 71, Princeton, died Wednesday, June 22, 2016, at his home.
Born Feb. 23, 1945, in Charleston, S.C., he was the son of the late Edward James and Sarah Lee Hadnott Bullock.

Jimmy called Wilson home until he and Margaret moved to the Princeton area in 1996.
He was preceded in death by his son, Kyle Bullock, and brother, Hilton Bullock.
Jimmy was a partner in the family business, Electric Motor Service of Wilson. Later he began his 30-year career with Wilson Community College, where he shared his love of math with many students, who will remember that dry sense of humor he used.
He enjoyed teaching, and remained active in the profession even after his retirement from Wilson. He was especially proud that his daughter decided to follow in his footsteps in that profession.
Jimmy was an active member of Princeton Baptist Church, where he served in many capacities -- Sunday school teacher, deacon and various committees.
He served his fellow man as a Meals on Wheels volunteer, Red Cross swimming instructor and Scout leader when his son was in Scouting.
