He was preceded in death by his mother, Nancy; a brother, Mark Pulaski and his grandparents, Jean and Russ Goheen, Nettie and Chester Pulaski.

Rick was a machinist at Honeywell in South Bend for eight years. He was a Veteran of the United States Marine Corp and was Black Belt and an instructor of Tae Kwon Do at Kim's Academy. The inspiration from his mother and father, his military career and his sport is something he carried with him always. His passion for teaching children, Tae Kwon Do were the best times of his life, as were the birth of his children. Rick was a very caring and patient person. Stubborn at times, and was serious about work and his family. When his grandkids came into his life, they became more important than himself.
