Robert Michael Pulsifer
LEWIS — On Dec. 25, 2009, with his family by his side, our beloved family member was called home into the arms of our Lord. He was born Aug. 4, 1945, the son of Roland and Pearl (Tart) Pulsifer in Elizabethtown, N.Y.
He was raised on the family farm and later worked for Allen Rogers Lumber Mill in Lewis until it closed.
He married Phyllis Bashaw June 2, 1974. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, cutting firewood, trapping and budding. He enjoyed sharing these things with anyone who wanted to learn about them. His greatest joy came from being with family and friends.
He was preceded to heaven by his two brothers, Charles Pulsifer and Frankie Pulsifer; and two brothers-in-law, Joseph Dulac and Marcel Boyer.
He is survived by his parents, Roland and Pearl Pulsifer; wife, Phyllis Bashaw; son Robert Pulsifer and his wife Krissie and their two sons Larry and Brandon; two stepsons, Dean Bashaw and his wife Misty and their children, Dean Jr. and Celia, Todd Bashaw and his wife Dawn and their children, Candace and Sarah; six brothers and sisters-in-law, Howard and Mary Tart of Wallingford, Conn., Roland and Clarice Pulsifer Jr., William and Nellie Pulsifer, Roger and Joanne Pulsifer and Terry and Wendy Pulsifer, all of Lewis; three sisters, Patricia and Tim Aubin of Lewis, Martha Pulsifer and companion Claude Lemieux and Joanne and Ken McFarlane, all of Quebec; six nephews, Nicholas Disogra (Karen), William Pulsifer Jr. (Kendra), Michael Pulsifer (Marlena), Paul Pulsifer, Jessy Pulsifer (Brianna), Terry Pulsifer Jr. (Amanda); and eight nieces, Heidi Tart, Beatrice Disogra, Chrissy Whittemore (Kenneth), Stacey Pulsifer, Anne Reinckens (Michael) Jennell Pulsifer, Mary Dulac Reynolds (Phillip) and Lori Howard (Brian); six great-nieces; eight great-nephews; and one yet to be born. Of these great-nephews, two, Joseph and Nathan Howard, were adopted as grandsons by him after the passing of Joseph Dulac.
