Brian Anthony Pulito, 79, of West Hartford, beloved husband of Margaret B. Goulet Pulito, passed away on Friday, June 7, 2024, at home after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Born in Hartford, he was the cherished son of the late Anthony and Yvonne Pulito and is the oldest of many Pulito and Arbo cousins. He had lived in West Hartford for most of his life.
Those who knew Brian will remember him for his love of the outdoors, bike rides, ziti with meatballs and financial statements. He had a caring and generous spirit. Brian was involved in many volunteer and community service projects such as The Walk for Hunger and The Food Rescue Program. He was also a member of the West Hartford Garden Club and was passionate about his own garden with his long-time friend, David Simpson. Brian enjoyed the community of the Old Guard. He also participated in 31 retreats at Holy Family Retreat Center. He was formerly a member of the Church of St. Helena, of which his mother and father were founding members. Brian currently was a member of the Church of St. Peter Claver. He graduated with a degree in Accounting at the University of Hartford and worked at Alstom Power (formerly ABB, Combustion Engineering) until he retired.

Pulito and his wife Kirsten of Missoula, MT, Daniel J. Pulito and his wife Andrea of Brooklyn, NY. He was a proud grandfather to Forrest G. Pulito and Olive J.
