Obituary

PULLEN, Harry A. …
We are sad to announce the loss of Harry Pullen on Saturday, October 14, 2017, after a courageous battle with lung cancer that never robbed him of his sense of humour. Harry was loved by many people and will be sadly missed by all of us. He is survived by his loving wife, Alexis, as well as his two daughters, Beverley and Linda and a son, Lawrence. Harry is also survived by his stepchildren, who brought so much to his life, Robert and Marg Rodda, Marg and Dwayne Deacon, and Scott and Gwen Rodda, as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Poppa Harry was always good for a candy, high 5 and fun. Harry was predeceased by his first wife, Shirley, and his daughter Betty. His career included  many years at Weston’s and owning the Pinto store in Dorchester. A special thanks to the palliative care team that allowed Harry to stay at home including  Dr. Hamilton, Harry’s wonderful nurse Christine and PSW Kyle. A very special thank you to our friends and family for the constant support you provided, along with the numerous trips to London to cook meals and have a laugh together. To my daughter, Marg and sister, Sandra – Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you both. A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at 2:00 pm at Royal Canadian Legion – Branch 501 Lambeth, 7097 Kilbourne Road, London Ontario.

    So sorry to hear of (uncle) Harry’s passing. I have many fond memories of camping with him and Auntil Shirley. He was always a gruff old bugger but I know deep down he was a softy. I especially enjoyed trying to sneak a kiss on his cheek….I was only success full a few times! Unfortunately I have to work Wednesday and cannot make it to the celebration. Thinking of you all.

    Dear Alexis and family,
    We are so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Harry as long as Ben did, but I/we have some fond memories of our times together either cruising in the Mediterranean or having supper either at your house or ours. Harry was a unique individual who made us laugh. I will miss giving him those hugs her tried so hard to avoid…deep down I think he was starting to look forward to those hugs as he would have this shy little smile once it was done. We will remember him and speak his name often. Hugs to all of you….Pat & Ben
