Jack D. Pulliam

He was born on August 30, 1932 in Gatewood, MO to the late David and Floy (Shipman) Pulliam.

He married the love of his life, Lewellyn “Bea” Stein on June 22, 1950 in Lacon, IL. They shared almost 70 years of a fairytale marriage and had a deep love for each other. She survives.

Also surviving are children, John (Cathy) Pulliam of Rockford, Valerie (Walter) Klimaszewski of DePue, IL, Nadine (Henry) Feldman of Cold Spring, NY, Amy (Mark Johnson) Tuckwell of Arlington, WA, Bryan (Samantha) Pulliam of Pekin; daughter in law, Janet Pulliam of Knoxville; grandchildren, Geoff (Susan) Pulliam, Andy (Danielle) Pulliam, Jeremy (Heidi) Pulliam, Patrick (Dawn) Klimaszewski, Mark (Ashley) Klimaszewski, Joe (Natalie) Feldman, Sarah (Neil Myers) Feldman, Trey Tuckwell, Kati (Staci Jessee) Pulliam, Shanea Pulliam, Nik (Ayla Grabill) Schemel and Tim Schemel; great-grandchildren, Robbie, Gabe, Eva, Henry, Orly, Abby, Ronan, Ray, Kayeh and Korah; two sisters, Katherine Nelson of Pekin and Earlene Jeffery of Lacon; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jack was a retired machinist whose greatest joy was spending time with his family. He was a proud father, grandfather and papa. He will be dearly missed.

Per his wishes, cremation rites have been accorded and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
