Dear Pullens,
I will take this opportunity to "speak" for all of those who have ever worked for Rob. It has been and will be a lasting experience. I wish that I could have let him know this before his unfortunate passing. His lasting impression has and will endure in all of us, as I am sure it will in you as well. Take solace in knowing that Rob was a shining example to us all and that his success rubbed off on each and every one of us. He raised the bar in the workplace and got the most out of his people. He even taught people what they were truly capable of through the challenges that he presented to us. I can personally vouch for this one. I had never forgotten about him and nor will I. And, I am just one of the thousands of lives that he touched. No matter where I go or what I do, I will remember that I once reported to Rob Pullen. Your husband/father was truly one-of-a-kind, head and shoulders above the rest. Think fondly of his actions and carry on his name with pride. After all...you are the one's that he was most proud of. God Bless.

Hey Guys!! I normally don't write on these, but after my brother passed I found true comfort in reading them, and I still do. Its never easy to lose someone, but know we all live to die. By showing/living through God's grace and mercy is what is the most important and hardest endeavor right now. God did not give us life to make it easy, its how we persevere through heartache/tragedy and even when times are good, that shows our love for him. Keep strong and even if you fall, pick yourself up again, everyday is a gift from God. Remember also look for those little signs, like you said Bitty about Dave Matthews hold on to those feelings thats God's work in your life, and you know your Dad (Robbo) will always be looking over all of your shoulders. Love you all!!
PS: Remember all of his lectures about life, because trust me he lectured me every time we saw each other, and I never told him this, but he kinda knew what he was talking about !! haha !! xoxo

There is a sorrow words cannot express and tenderness becomes the language of the heart.
God Bless you all.

Dear Dawn, Brittany and Brendan,
Words can't come out of my mouth to really tell you how I feel. It's a gret sadnees to find out that the person that I knew was strong,loving person,caring for his life and family has passed a way. The last time I met with him I remember him saying that he knew it was going to be hard but he was going to make it. I told him that I knew he was going to be fine and strong as always. He had a long time ahead of him. My best thoughts and prayer for the family and friends. From Hernandez Tree Services. I Mary will Miss Him Alot. Its going to be sad not to see him around the house asking how were doing. "Dawn keep strong because he would want that from you"

Rob was one of the good guys, he treated everyone with respect no matter their station in life. The world lost a great person and role model.

I was very saddened to learn of Rob's passing and offer my sincere condolences to the Pullen family on their loss. Rob was truly one of Tellabs' good guys who I had nothing but respect and admiration for. He will truly be missed by family, friends, and the colleagues who knew and worked with him. His family can take comfort in knowing he no longer suffers with the terrible disease that took his life and that he is now at eternal rest with his Lord.
