Ken Pullan was an incredible man who was generous, but humble. He was passionate about all the little things in life, whether it was helping out a friend in the neighborhood, or having a deep conversation at the dinner table. He was curious and full of questions for his family and friends, which came from a place of true compassion and consideration.

I will truly miss him for all of my days, a man who was always my Friend...and who I will always remember as a second Father. I adored him. Rest in peace Ken. XO
