Charles L. Pulling's Obituary
Charles L. Pulling, 85, was born on December 17, 1936 to the late Willard and Inez Pulling.
Charles passed away on August 31, 2022. Beloved husband of Nancy Pulling. Cherished father of Chuck (Corinne), Chris (Linda), Chad (Kinder), and Carrie. Loving grandfather of Kevin, Justin (Jenna), Laurel, Jeremy, Veronica, Conner, and Carly. Dear brother of Harriet (George) Forkapa (both deceased), Mariana (John, deceased) Finohr, Laura Pulling (deceased), Kenneth (Dolly) Pulling (both deceased), Beverly (Milton, surviving) Tomsik (deceased), George (Joan) Pulling (both deceased), Willard (Angie) Pulling, Arthur (Anna, surviving) Pulling (deceased), Mario (Bobbi, surviving) Pulling (deceased), James (Sandy) Pulling, Jeanne (Bob) Miller.
Chuck's employment began in machinery, continued as a tool and die maker, and eventually led to the setting up of company machine shops. While a machinist by trade, Chuck was also a self-taught carpenter and did a wonderful job remodeling and creating furniture. Ultimately, Chuck retired from the Federal Government where he worked as a Quality Assurance Representative.
He surrounded himself with family first. Leading Cub Scout troops with the boys, always playing the "neighborhood quarterback" with kids on the block, and being the prettiest makeup model for his granddaughters. Travel, chess, and any type of board or card game with friends and family were also cherished activities for Chuck.
