John Pasulka Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
John, the eldest child in a family of thirteen siblings, learned his family values and strong work ethic from his parents. After meeting at DePaul University, he and his wife GiGi raised their three children in Aurora, and he eventually ran his own business. In his leisure time, John loved outdoor activities such as gardening, swimming, fishing with his friends, and even took up SCUBA diving in his sixties. Along the way, he became a friend of Bill W. His four grandchildren were his greatest joy, and his family will miss him every day.
John is survived by his wife of sixty two years, Georgiana (Hofelt) Pasulka: three children, Dolores Pasulka, Anita (Patrick) McCafferty, Andrew Pasulka; four grandchildren, Bridget McCafferty, Claire McCafferty, Alexandra Pasulka, Mark Pasulka; two sisters, Irene O'Neill, Mary (Keith) Knapp; seven brothers, William (Melanie) Pasulka, W. Raymond (Pamela) Pasulka, Paul Pasulka, Robert Pasulka, Patrick (Kim) Pasulka, David Pasulka, Donald Pasulka; many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas and Marie (Vierling) Pasulka; two brothers, Michael Pasulka, Joseph Pasulka; and a sister, Anna Marie Gutzeit.

John was such a loving and caring man. My husband and I met John at meetings. John loved hearing about our son, Jacob. I am deeply saddened to hear he passed away. He will be missed. Love and prayers for John´s family.
