Uncle Ed,
Your presence in our lives was a gift of silent observation and unspoken understanding. Without words, you showed us that you noticed everything. And your laughter felt like your way of acknowledging when Pulliams were being Pulliams.

Your life reminds us that family is not just about shared words, but about shared lives. Your spirit was a quiet, steady force in our family, and it will continue to resonate in our hearts.

In your memory, we vow to recognize the unspoken bonds that connect us all. May you find peace and tranquility, free from the constraints of the physical world, and know that your legacy lives on in the love of the entire Pulliam family.

Your nephew,
Tobias

Uncle Ed,
Your presence in our lives was a gift of silent observation and unspoken understanding. Without words, you taught us the power of noticing the little things. And your laughter was a language unto itself, where you always seemed to acknowledge when Pulliams were being Pulliams. 

You will forever teach us that family is not just about shared words, but about shared lives. Your spirit has been a quiet, steady force in our family, and it will continue to resonate in our hearts.

In your memory, we vow to recognize the unspoken bonds that connect us all. May you find peace and tranquility, free from the constraints of the physical world, and know that your legacy lives on in the entire Pulliam family.

Your nephew,
Tobias

I am  hurt and sorry that I am unable to be there as a support for you (DAD) and the family, and to celebrate lil Ed. He was always happy around our family but especially so with you(his brother). 

I pray that when we think of lil Ed we remember all the happy times and his smile. I remember the trips to pick him up and seeing him on holidays and in the summers, boy was he happy to see his brother Johnny and the family! My husband Rocky was remembering when he went up and shook his hand for the first time how lil Ed was so happy with that gesture that he kept coming back to shake his hand with the biggest smile on his face. It’s memories like that which put a smile on our faces.

He was so loved by all of his nieces and nephews who have so many happy times etched in their memory. 

Niece,
Tisha Pulliam Oliver

I remember Ed sitting  on the porch or when he visited Johnny and Bobbie asking for a cigarette. Sometimes we refer to him as Shakey Jake. He could always find a way to communicate that he wanted a cigarette. There are so many memories and I know we will never forget you.
