| Published in Today's News Herald from Apr. 17 to Apr. 18, 2020 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Lawrence Edward Pulaskey passed away at home into the loving arms of his savior on April 16, 2020 at the age of 87. Larry was born Oct. 15, 1932 in Detroit to Edward & Emily Pulaskey. Larry was a deacon at Calvary Baptist Church in Lake Havasu City and was fondly known as the "Hugger". Larry grew up on a dairy farm in Michigan. He was drafted into the Army, proudly serving his country as a medic in Korea for two years and was a member of VFW Post 9401. Upon returning from Korea, Larry married his first wife Fran and they were blessed with two children, Mark and Lorrie. In 1955, he started working for General Motors and after a few months he became a supervisor on the production line. Larry retired in 1985 after 30 years. Several years after his divorce, he met Diane and they married in 1974 and began their 46 years together. They were very active in their churches, loved camping, skiing with their ski clubs, and traveling to Lake Havasu City. After retirement they moved to their property, 40 acres in the woods near West Branch, MI. They joined a square dance club, played golf, went on two missionary trips to Mexico to help build a church, went on cruises, and had many gatherings at their 40 Oaks property. In 2001, they moved to Havasu and joined Calvary Baptist Church where Larry was involved in a prison ministry and the Greeters ministry. Their life has been filled with their love of God, church, family, and the many relatives and friends. His favorite Bible verse was Philippians 4:4-9. Larry is survived by his loving wife, Diane; son Mark (Bernadine); daughter Lorrie; step-daughters Donna (Tim), Denise (Craig); grandchildren Gwen (Maurice); Ian; Evan (Julia); great-grandchildren Nevaeh and Nariah; and ex-wife Fran. A celebration of Larry's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Larry's name to Calvary Baptist Church or Hospice of Havasu. |
