John Poulin Obituary

John Poulin, 81, passed away on Saturday, December 11, 2021, at home, peacefully surrounded by his loving family after battling a long illness. He taught us what strength and endurance truly are. He was the husband of Elaine (Boudle) Poulin.

Mr. Poulin was born December 2, 1940, in Canada. The son of the late Wilfred and Mary Rose (Gilbert) Poulin. He was a hard-working Steelworker, who was dedicated to his family. He had a great love for his family and life and a passion for The Yankees and Fords.

In honor of his fun-loving spirit take a long drive with good music and good company, and enjoy the ride!

Mr. Poulin's family would like to thank the staff of Franciscan Home Care for their care and compassion.

In addition to his loving and devoted wife of 59 years, Mr. Poulin is survived by his daughters Emma Nealy and son-in-law Allen Nealy, Josephine Harnois and her husband Ken, his grandchildren Nicolette and her husband Mike, Allen Jr., Jaimie, Kenny, and Sarah and his beloved nephews, nieces, cousins and dear friends. In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by his brother Larry Poulin and grandson John Robert.

Sorry for your loss. I remember John very well from his days at Ulbrich. I can still picture him with that cigar hanging out of his mouth while working ( those were the days we were allowed to smoke indoors). Oops, just gave my age away.
After he had left Ulbrich, being good friends with his brother Larry, he kept me informed on how John was doing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
