To the Pulliam Family,
I had the honor of getting hired by RFD in the Mid-80's as a "transplant" from out of state. Dave was my first LT @ #12 and was a great role model, mentor and friend who treated me like a son....a true fire officer and world class person. Rest in peace my brother. Gone but never forgotten!!

To Betty and the entire Puliam Family,
The last time I saw David was at a St. Patrick's reunion. I always thought of him as one of the nicest men I knew. I am terribly sad to learn of his passing. I know that he will be remembered fondly by all who knew him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,

I met Dave in 1994. He and his fellow fire fighters raised money to buy a wig for one of my students. Jessica had suffered 3 degree burns over 90 percent of her body in a house fire.
