Ulysses Q. Cottrell, Jr., son of the late Ulysses Q. Cottrell, Sr. who preceded him in death and Daisy Blackwell-Cottrell, was born on January 4, 1948 in Baltimore, Maryland. He departed this life on August 21, 2007 after a lengthy illness. He received his education at Carver Vocational Technical High School where he learned a trade in auto mechanics. Ulysses worked full-time as a tractor-trailer driver at a number of trucking companies, most recently Redline Transfer Company. Ulysses' true passion, however, was working on cars. As if they were at Pep Boys, many of his friends and neighhors would line-up their cars in the alley behind Dukeland Street for his mechanical services. The difference between the to was that Ulysses' prices were low and many times free. The quality of his work, however, was equal to and at times better than Pep Boys. Ulysses was baptized at an early age at Whitestone Baptist Church where he accepted God and Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Ulysses, better known as Junior or June Bug, was an easy-going man whose presence was felt by many. He was a very kind-hearted and loving person. To many of his friends and family members, he was considered a jokester as he often made us laugh. He was a true friend and devoted son. He will surely be missed by all of us. He is survived by: his mother, Daisy Cottrell; four sons, Tyrone, Tyrone, Marquise, and Troy Cottrell; two daughters, Annette and Tiffany Cottrell; two sisters, Helen Cottrell and Ruth Bellamy; one aunt, Gladys Cottrell; one brother-in-law, Alfred Bellamy; grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins; two very special friends, Sandra Williams and Allen Kornegay; and a host of other relatives and friend.
