There is a picture here of Mr. Bullock, when his Mother passed away.
I remember Robert. I met him through Esther years ago. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I have a friend who works at the funeral home. He just told me that he'll be working at the funeral Friday.
A Motown passing
Condolences to Motown Historical Museum chair Robin Terry and the Gordy family on the Feb. 8 death of Terry's father, Robert Berry Bullock , at age 69, a year and a half after the death of his mother, museum founder Esther Gordy Edwards . Services are at noon today at the James H. Cole Funeral Home, 16100 Schaefer Highway. Bullock attended Western Michigan University at the same time as several Velvelettes , and he urged them to audition for Motown. "There would have been no audition without Robert," says Bertha Barbee McNeal .
"I admired Robert's quiet manner, he was such a gentleman." Velvelette Norma Fairhurst last saw him in 2011 at his mother's funeral. "I told him what a great job he did, speaking at her funeral, how proud she'd be. We used to talk about Mary Wells and Marvin Gaye , and all the fun times we used to have."
