I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Ed Pulia, Sr. and especially to his son Sam. I worked with Ed as Police Chief of Westchester when I owned the "Westchester News" and Sam attended school in Westchester with my daughter Lynn.

Grandpa Pulia, you will be greatly missed!! I wish I could have had a few more games of Scopa with you. However, you bring a smile to my face just thinking of the times we shared together. God Bless you and God Bless the Pulia's during this time. Love you guys.

I am so sorry for your loss. My grandfather always spoke highly of the Pulia family especially Ed. They went back many, many years and had lots of great memories. I am sure him and my gramps will have some good laughs in heaven as they reminisce of the good old days.
