Rites Planned on May 13 for Brian Bullock

Memorial services will be held for Navy Lt (jg) Brian Edward Bullock, 23, of 800 Victoria Place, Burbank, on May 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Glendale Presbyterian Church, 219 E. Harvard Street.

Lt. Bullock was killed April 23, 1970 while stationed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lexington. Memorial services were held Sunday in the Naval Chapel at Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida, for the Glendale born flier.

A catapult launching his plane reportedly malfunctioned during flight operations. Navy officials said he was able to eject from the plane but rescuers aboard the carrier were not able to find his body.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bullock, and a sister Beverly.

Bullock was a graduate of Burbank High School and had attended Glendale College for two years. He completed his studies at San Fernando Valley State College, receiving a Bachelor's degree in business administration.

He received his commission as an ensign in the Naval Reserves upon graduation from college.

The family has stated that contributions may be made to the Brian Edward Bullock Memorial Fund at Glendale Presbyterian Church.
