We feel very fortunate to have moved next door to Doc and Kay in l981. They were such great neighbors and so much fun. They made the 10 years we spent in Page so enjoyable and it was a sad day when we had to say good-by to them and move away. We feel so lucky to have known them and their family.

I have had the ultimate honor of caring for Doc and his beautiful wife Kay. They are the happiest couple and I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know both of them and to celebrate their 70th Wedding Anniversary with them. That picture inspires me everyday! I will never forget the dedication he had but most of all his sense of humor, I am still looking for that husband! Best Wishes in this hard time to the Pulsifer Family.

I did not know Doc but do know his son Carl. Knowing Carl I realize Kay & Doc must have been such good people and the kind of people we are losing in today's society. I am sure they will be greatly missed.

I am thankful to have been one of Doc's many friends. He will be thought of kindly, and our association will be treasured. He was truly a valuable resource for Southwestern lore & general knowledge.
My deepest sympathy to his family,
