Obituary
Frederick Francis Bulot passed away on March 16th, 2021. He was born on December 14th, 1925 in La Marque, TX to parents Bertha O'Connor of Commerce, TX and Louis Bulot of New Orleans, LA.
Fred joined the Navy at age 17. He trained as a Fire Control Technician and was responsible for controlling computers and radar and maintaining the big guns aboard the ship. Fred's Navy service took him to the Pacific during WWII. He served aboard the
USS Gardiners Bay
during the last battle of Okinawa.
Gardiners Bay
received two battle stars for service in WWII.
After his 24 years of Naval service, Fred met Clydine Patterson. After a few months of dating, they knew they had found true love and were wed. They were married for 48 years, until Clydine's passing in 2012. Their life took them from Kentucky to Texas and then South Florida where Fred worked as a carpenter for Palm Beach's historic luxury waterfront hotel, The Breakers. Fred and Clydine had many good friends and were active in the Okeechobee Church of Our Savior community. Their waterfront retirement home, designed by Fred, was a popular gathering place for family and friends from all over the country. These gatherings included boat trips out on Lake Okeechobee, large meals of favorite dishes from Fred's New Orleans ancestry, and storytelling.
Fred was an artist and craftsman, enjoying painting and truly excelling at woodworking. He crafted beautiful one-of-a-kind gifts, from furniture, to wall hangings, to jewelry boxes and the earrings to put in them.
Fred is survived by his loving family, including his daughters Vicki Milner (Kyle) of Fortney, TX and stepdaughter Norma Sloan of Punta Gorda, FL, granddaughters Susie Grandin and Heather Gray (Brian), three great-grandchildren Kurt Grandin (Cortney), Alex Grandin, and Zoe Gray, and great-great grandson Parker Grandin.
