Husband of Alice Heinz 1928-2017

Walter Pulvermacher was born to Florian and Henrietta (Lochner) Pulvermacher of Martinsville, the second of 10 children. On June 24, 1948, he married the love of his life, Alice Heinz

Wally spent 95 years on this earth sharing his faith, love of family, strong work ethic, and value of friends with his five children, 16 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. He loved the land and spent his life farming and being a jack of all trades able to fix, remodel or build most anything. He helped all his children build a house (at least once) and showed how to make them a home with his strong faith and the love and kindness he shared with all his family and friends. He usually wore a smile and a work hat, always ready to lend a helping hand. He adored his family and especially loved babies and could magically soothe a fussy child with his sassy charm and good-natured teasing. He loved playing cards, doing puzzles, and tinkering with most anything. He played Sheepshead every Monday night with the "card gang" for over 70 years. He loved to play guitar, harmonica, dulcimer and singing to his grandkids or watching them dance. Wally had a very friendly, outgoing nature with a ready smile, handshake or hug, and a lot of down-to-earth common sense and words of wisdom to share.
