Although ive only spoke to him a few times thats all it took to know he was a good person. He will be missed among the Fighterace Community.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

I remember James telling me his dad was in and out of the hospital, but I had no idea it was this serious..
I'm honored to have known Mr Pullin. He was a role model to me.. Mr Pullin is an extremely intelligent man, a highly skilled online gamer, and above all the father of a great family. If you guys don't know him personally, you can't possibly understand how much of a tragedy this is.
I can't really say much as I'm at a loss of words.. I'm truly sorry and I hope you guys will be alright. The only thing that I can think to say is to remind you of the wonderful times that you had..
When you go into the Pullins house, theres this old picture of Mr Pullin from Id assume the 70s.. He has a big afro and I could swear its Jimmy Hendrix, but they say its Icy :/ Now you know well a man that looked like that in the 70s has no regrets and enjoyed the heck out of his life.
The Pullins have two awesome kids, you'll never make a friend more loyal than James.. I never really knew Justin that much as he was much younger than James and I. Also, you won't meet a woman more kind than Mrs Pullin. She's my favorite math teacher
Most of you guys are online gamers.. so you know the person who whines in game after being killed or what not. Well, Mr Pullin was never one of those (he wouldn't type it anyway), but lemme tell ya! He'd get shot down in Fighter Ace or Air Warrior and curse words and joysticks would start flying! You probably think I'm kidding, ask James! He loved his online gaming, as I'm sure we all do.
btw, for you military out there.. I'm almost certain he was in the Army. Mr Pullin has seen and done everything.. How many people can say they won a Ford Explorer driving monster trucks on a computer? LOL .. I still can't believe it. He's started his own business, "Pullinware" in which he fixes and builds computers. He has huge train sets that he and his sons work with. As I said, he was my baseball coach for many years. He designed websites and on top of that, his work was his hobby. I'm sure many people wish they could say that. He's a real talkative guy.. the kind that would keep you on the phone for hours, if you know someone like this then you'd know he enjoyed life.
I wasn't even that close to Mr Pullin, but I remember lots. Just think of the great times and that'll bring a smile back to your face.
I was hoping you could post the link to the family pictures homepage.. as I remember him making one.
James if you read this..
my aim is go98gkp, you should know who this is. BTW, I lost my password to go98g so I had to make another

This is a real blow. Jim Pullin was a spirited man. He had a sense of honor and fairness that made him a passionate competitor and a fiercely loyal team mate.
He was a scrapper and he was fearless.
Zoom and I respected him so much as an adversary in the early days of Fighter Ace, that we knew he would be a fine addition to our squadron.
We are shocked and saddened. We reach out in prayer to Jim's fine family. We pray for comfort and peace. We pray for rest and succor.
And we remember that if we:
- challenged him, we were in for a fight
- covered him he would find a way to win
- gave him a mission, it would be completed
- included him, he would give 150%
I suspect that Jim Pullin lived his life this way.
LB-HAM! Mate.

I remember when I first started flying FA having fits when trying to roll in my Spit and some guy flying down the runway in a Bf-109K clearing our runway!!!!! Razzem, Frazzem @#%^$&^@ ICY!!!
Then I became a DD and ended up on the right side of those guns. ;) He was always definitely a true competitor and always gave his best. He will be missed.

May god take him and make an angle so that he can watch over those left.

I didn't know Iceman, but from what I've read, I wish I had known him. People sometimes wonder why other people like computer gaming so much? To me, it's because of the great friendships gamers develop and when we lose a fellow gamer, everyone feels the loss. But all of us can take comfort in knowing that when it's our time to move on, it's to a better place. And I'm sure he is up there watching over his loved ones and his gaming friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with Iceman's family.
