We were so sorry to hear of Chaplain Pusey’s passing. My husband had the great pleasure of serving as a Chaplain Assistant for him. Chaplain Pusey also married us so he & Lucy were very special to us. I was from Ohio so we talked some about different areas. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Our family, Barbours, sang several times at the Elizabeth town Church. The Pussey's became our friends and we were guests at their one Sunday afternoon before we sang in the evening service. Paul said as he and I sat in the recliner chairs, let's see who snores first. I forget who won.

Paul and Lucy were great friends to.Pam and I when we served as DS of the Kentucky District 1974-2001. Loyal and truly committed to God and the church. God bless Paul's memory and his family.

Our lives were enriched by the friendship and fellowship of Paul & Lucy while we both served on the Kentucky District. Both were great encouragers to us, in ministry and in life. We will be forever grateful that God allowed us the blessing of knowing them. Well done, good and faithful servant.

We were blessed to know Paul since his move to Idaho. What a man of God! He was a friend to everyone. He was part of our men's group every Monday morning, and my wife Rita and I will miss him a lot. We were both from Ohio and shared many stories about the Buckeye state. I even gave him a buckeye from my back yard tree. We know we shall see him again "One Glorious Day."

We knew Paul's son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Gail Pusey, from Dr. Bell's Sunday School class at College Church at Olivet many years ago. Though we never got to meet Paul, we thought very highly of Steve and Gail, and know he must have been a great man to raise such an admirable son. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the family.
