Millard Bolling, Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

MILLARD EUGENE BOLLING, JR. was the second of ten children born to the late Deacon Millard Sr. and Bettie Bolling on May 16, 1938 in Goochland, VA. He quietly departed this life on June 1, 2022. Millard accepted Christ at an early age, often attending the Chief Cornerstone Baptist Church in Goochland. Millard was educated in the public school system of Goochland County, Virginia. He was a quick learner and extremely inquisitive, always assisting other students in the classroom and had aspirations of becoming a musician. After graduating from high school at the top of his class, he relocated to Baltimore, MD where he worked until he was drafted by the United States Army, serving in Germany protecting the border. After serving, he was granted an Honorable Discharge and returned to Baltimore to continue his employment. Millard was employed by the Social Security Administration in Baltimore, MD as a Budget and Case Analyst. He received numerous awards and accommodations. Millard played the saxophone in the military as well as with the Social Security Band. He would often hum a tune he played or share a story about one of his performances. He was very committed to his job, always the first one in the office and the last to leave for the day. Millard exemplified the values of hard work, dependability, and determination, values that he would pass along to his daughters. His fellow employees often joked about him never retiring, but he did after 54 years and 4 months of service. Millard was always dressed in business attire. For the longest time he wore a suit jacket and tie, even on the weekends. Millard loved old cars and history; he would travel to car shows, admiring and studying the details of the vehicles of yesteryear. He knew every statistic about each car and was eager to share his knowledge. He was proud of his racing trophies and awards and would often tell stories of his races. He also loved to travel and discover interesting historical facts about the area he lived, visited or just happened to come across while driving. He loved taking pictures; he always had a camera in hand to capture each precious memory. He was known to document each significant event, dating each photo with a date, time, and where the picture was taken. He was preceded in death by his wife, Gertrude Bolling and four siblings, Joyce Bolling, Calvin Bolling, Laurie Edwards and Shirley Linton. He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving daughters, Tamara and Melissa Bolling; grandchildren, Montay Roberts, Ernest Montague, Ill and Genesis Roberts; brothers, Clyde Bolling and Harold Lloyd Bolling; sisters, Barbara Strickland, Delores Mears and Marian Robinson; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends
