James Pulliam Obituary

July 4, 1943 - March 26, 2024
James Pulliam passed away peacefully after a long illness surrounded by his family. James grew up in Kensington and Rockville, Maryland. He attended Good Counsel High School and the University of Maryland, where he studied political science. He started his own insurance brokerage business called Associated Insurance. He was an avid reader, golfer and traveler. He was a devoted father, husband and grandfather, and took great delight in spending time with his family. He spent his life making the lives of his family easier. His intellect, generosity, and tremendous sense of humor will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Priscilla, his daughter Amy (Frederick), son Scott (Christena) and six grandchildren- Andrew, Daniel, Emily, Coryn, Molly and Brady. He was preceded in death by his son Andrew.

We offer prayers to Priscilla at the recent loss of Jim. His ever present wit was most enjoyable for us on European river cruises we shared. I regret we never got to witness our exploits on a golf course. May peace and good health follow Pricilla in the years to come.
