Craig passed away on Thursday, September 22 after a valiant battle with ALS. He touched many lives with his faith and positive outlook on life.
Craig was born in Toms River, New Jersey and went to Oakland High School. After serving in the US army 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam, and discharging as an Airborne Ranger, E5, Craig owned several restaurants in the Bay Area.
He married the love of his life, Sunny Pullman, on October 30, 1982. They moved to Hawaii and owned Pacific Beauty Supply. In 1993 they moved back to California and he worked as an electrician at UC Berkeley. The joy of his life was being a husband and father. His devotion to his God and family was undeniable. He coached several of his childrens' sports teams and helped the boys build hotrods. He was very proud of who all three of them have become.
Craig is survived by his wife Janelle "Sunny" Pullman, children Craig "CJ" (Lindsey) Pullman, Brittney (JJ) Cassiere, Nick (Emily) Pullman, and Janelle Jacqueline Kuulee Pullman (deceased), and grandchildren Riley and Sydney. He is also survived by his brother Jack "Skip" (Mona) Pullman of Maui, HI, Niece Jackie Pullman, Nephews Victor and Tyrone (Kawehi) Pullman, Ed (Kim) Hansen, and Troy (Karen) Hansen. He will be laid to rest at Oahu at the National Cemetery of the Pacific.
Friends and family are invited to join his memorial at "The Bay Church" 4705 Evora Road, Concord, CA 94520 at 11am Thursday, October 6th.
