He was married to Maria Thereza "Terry" Taves Pullen; they have three children, Dorothy, Victoria, and Robert, and two grandsons, Brian and Scott Belsky.
Guy started his professional career in Rio de Janeiro, as a marine insurance underwriter, and progressed through the insurance industry until he left the business in 1960.

Guy was not only my brother-in-law but ,more important, my good friend since the '50s. He will be remembered as a loving husband, caring father and wonderful friend.

August 5, 2016 was a very sad day for me. I lost one on of my best friends. For years, Guy and I had lunch on Tuesdays in Naples with a group of other guys. We shared our lives, thoughts about life, and a deep faith in Christ. I've always known Guy Pullen to care deeply about what matters most in life and I will forever miss his friendship and that warm smile of his. I look forward to picking up where we left off when I get to the other side. Cathee and I send our love and condolences to Terry and the family.
