I really enjoyed knowing and working with Barry. He had a great sense of humor and a wonderful smile. He always took his work seriously and was a strong advocate for employees under his supervision. A true team player. It was so sad to learn about his passing. I know he will be missed. He was a good man.

For 17 years I had the privilege of working for Barry, directly and indirectly. I first met him in 1995 and began working directly for him that year. Barry was a tremendous leader, mentor, and a friend over those years leading up to his retirement. His sense of humor was legendary and his out-going nature and hearty laugh drew people to him. He inspired those who worked for or with him to give every task or project more of themselves as no one wanted to let him down. His insights, counsel, and guiding advice strongly influenced me for the remainder of my career with the Company until I retired 2 years ago. I spoke to him several times after his retirement and his joys were his family and making the most of his time with them. It was sad to hear of his passing and I know the loss Pam and his family are feeling. There are so many great memories of Barry in our work environment but they undoubtedly pale in comparison to the memories he made with his family. Barry made a difference and will be sorely missed.

Barry Pulskamp is one of the most decent people I ever had the opportunity to know and work with. He also happened to be incredibly smart and not infrequently hilarious. Not many people know that Barry once donned a pink tutu and danced at a birthday party for me. Barry's motto for his employees was: Good Better Best, Never Stop Never Rest, Until Your Good is Better and Your Better is Best. Barry was the best, so I guess he can rest now. But God the world is a sadder place without Barry in it.

Barry was big.
He had a big smile.
He had a big heart.
He had a big influence.
He had a big family.
He also had a big group of friends.
He was always a big help.
He loved attending the big game or the big fundraiser.
He was the big guy at work.
He took on life in a big way.
So, where did he store all of this bigness?
Well of course in a Barrel.

Rest peacefully my friend,
Paul

He was the best! Already missed by so many. I'll always think of him when I see the color purple or an old Corvette. If only we could all be the kind of person he was. He will be missed greatly❤
